yeah, i was considering ddr2 800 but i figured meh. i just needed to replace my both-feet-in-the-grave 1GB of pc2100.
plus i got 2GB for $135, which i figured was a pretty damn good deal.
don't know much about biostar, really, to be honest. i was kinda goin by that roundup of 965 boards they did over at anand's. seemed good enough for me. all i've had are abit boards, and i kinda wanted a change (not sure why, though...abit did me well).
and the 7900GS.....i was gonna get a radeon x1900gt but they kept going in and out of stock here and there, plus they've stopped production (for the 1950's, yeah?). and when it came time to buy i saw that xfx on newegg for $150 a/r, so i went for that.
i think it'll be decent enough for what i'm doing. probably won't be able to handle everything and anything at max framerates, but that's all right. i figure it's pretty upgrade-ready, eh?
