Sub Total: $2,001.90 On to the questions:
My dad called and said we could order the parts when he gets home. Should we buy them or wait for the 8900's or something?
What's OEM?
Should I just buy the E6600 considering I don't know how to overclock? Or could someone direct me towards a place that tells how to overclock? The main reason I wanted the cheaper cpu to overclock was so I could upgrade to a quad core later and not have already spent a third of the price on a cheaper proccessor.
If anyone has any suggestions they'd be appreciated.
Well I read that some drivers come on floppies and that something is required to press F6 during installation, and you need a floppy. Maybe it was just that kids hard drive.
Nah you dont need a floppy drive, and with the overclocking statement, i never knew how to OC my proc, now its running at 2.7 from 2.13. I'd say go with the E6600 and OC it :P or if you wanna save your money, get the 6300, a good HS/F and OC that thing. Besides, wouldnt the 6300 bottleneck the GTX a bit?
I would get the pc now and get the E6600 don't wait for the 8900 to come out because for all we know they could come out next year apart from that its a very nice pc.
And OEM means the product comes with no fancy packing so you save money say you ordered a OEM windows vista it would just be the disk no fancy box that you don't need.Â
