Pc Spec
Iv been looking for a good pc for a while because iv got to the point where mine is just getting annoying for newer applications (even msn live struggles!) Iv seen a pc which seems ok i dont know though iv heard all about how rubbish the graphics will be and the ram is useless and i will never need that much even in future...anyways tell me the flaws and the good stuff about this pc...by the way i want to be able to have a fast computer with good gaming ability.
AMD Phenom Quad Core 9500 3.6Ghz FSB (14.4Ghz) 8GB DDR2 (4 x 2048MB) Gigabyte - GA-M57SLI-S4 NVIDIA® nForce 570 SLI chipset 250 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive .18x DVD RW +/- nVidia 8500GT x 2 SLI 1GB Graphics (2gb in total) Also would i be able to use xp 64bit and still have it running at all its spec? or do i need vista.... Thanks in advance |

Theyre the crappy lovechild of the 8800 series (That goes for 8600s too). They aren't powerful at all, and they are a really bad entry card for DX10.
Two in sli probably wont even give you the power of one 8800gt, so its a waste.
