First time builder looking for some expert advice with memory.
I am trying to build a mid to upper level build, I have antec 900 case, q6600 processor, 680i lt Mobo and PC&P 750 Power Supply. I plan on adding 2 8800gt's this week.
I have never been one to Overclock, but am open to try it in the future. I was going to do XP as an OS, but I seen a few people on here using vista so they can use more memory. So I ask three questions.
Vista or XP? Only reason I would use vista is for the memory.
8 gigs or 4?
How important is it to have CAS latency 4 instead of 5.
Thanks!
Some Memory I am considering
