So you'd rather him buy s939, which is the same price as AM2 hardware, just because you think AM2 is "total bull?" Between new technology and old technology, which is the same price and speed, I'd still take the new tech. As should anyway, since it's just common sense...

It's better not to mix and match ram anyway. If he got a 2GB dual channel kit, he wouldn't be able to use the 512mb anyway regardless of whether it was DDR or DDR2.

A 7600GT is not old. It's a current, mainstream card. It runs cool and will play most games on high settings at 1024*768 at least. If he wants to pay the extra $100 or so and go for the 7900 that's fine, I said I wasn't telling him what he should get with that list.


Well, I hate to say it but you are right. Listen I mixed up 7600 GT with 6600 GT... And if AM2 is the same price he should go with the AM2 but he would still be spending a little more on mem though. Which is cool because if you got enough money to spend 2 GB is the way to go, for playing battlefield 2 it's even a must.
