Default Re: Full system update for my freelance graphics buisness

What I mean is that you could get 4GB of slower ram, say PC2-667 instead of PC2-800 since you will not notice the difference in speed at stock speeds. I would strongly suggest 4GB of ram, and if anything I'd even more strongly suggest 2X2GB sticks since you can go to 8GB later when you need it. Using programs like I belive you use, you'll get a real benefit of 4GB+ of ram.

The problem with OCZ's power supplies is that they offer poor ripple suppression and that can cause a variety of problems with your computer with a big problem of killing memory. I can name off a dozen cheaper power supplies that are far better. Tell me exactly where you shop for parts and what country you live in and I can give you a better idea of what I would build for you.
