BF2S Forums Need opinion for new computer

Another gig of ram ??

damn that was fast. thanks guys. i plan on ordering this computer this week and get the extra gig a ram next month when i get more money. so i should have any lag or choppy game play with this thing at max settings. i got 2 gigs of ram in old computer but its just a disappointment  to play any more

instead of 2 7600GS's why not ... (just a tad more and it will save you some heat in your case)

why not just ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814150171

....

and hitting that 2GB mark is a must.

I play only with a good headset for respect of my roommate. I would be very appreciative of any help whether i can do this or not.

I'd go with 2GB ram (2x 1GB), a single fast card instead of the SLI setup, and a separate sound card to squeeze the most processor cycles out of the CPU.

I would also recommend the Intel Core Duo instead of the X2.

DVI to 50" LCD....  The ONLY way to play.

If you like spending copious amounts of money unnecessarily.

Sarge speaks the truth! C2D (Core 2 Duo) is much better than AM2, hands down.

I can attest to the extra gig of ram. And you need a beefier vid card. dual 7600GS will not cut it at all.

Everyone is right so far. You need at least 1GB more of ram. I would also drop the SLI configuration and go with one, badass single card. With two you're going to eat up more power consumption and create a lot more heat inside your case. Come to think of it you didn't even mention a power supply. The only other thing I would highly suggest would be adding an X-Fi sound card to that list. Do you have any idea how shitty onboard sound is from a motherboard? You want to play with full blown graphics, but why deprive yourself of full blown sound quality? If you don't want to drop the extra money on an X-Fi card then at least get an Audigy ZS or something. Or if you want to go all the way then grab an X-Fi Fatal1ty/Gamer edition... because XRAM is a beautiful thing.
