We double the budget of yesterday's low-cost PC and build the best possible unit we can for under $2000.

Why wouldn't you put 1066MHz (PC2-8500) memory on this machine?

I assume they are using Cas 4 memory, which you are not going to find in this price range at PC2-8500.

This build is identical to my current rig, except I chose an 8800GT, and the Q6600 oc'd to 2.88. It plows through AVCHD editing, and Oblivion.

I spent weeks researching the best price points. Good job guys.
