Buying computer for 10boxing

[Ashley]

Sorry, I meant 12gb. I bought 12gb RAM because it was advertised as being compatible with the mobo and was the highest quantity of bundled RAM within my price range. It was only after purchase someone told me about the whole dual-channel thing in IRC.

Well, it works, might not be as efficient as it could be (difference won't be that much of an impact), and the only time I'll be able to do something about it is buying a heatsink that doesn't hog the airspace over the ram slots and getting a 4th stick, or by buying ram with a low profile that'll sit under the heatsink snugly.

Runs fine and is a 10x better machine than what I've come from (Q6600, 6gb RAM, 1gb Nvidia 9500 GT).

The 6950 is a dual gpu, right so you would be quad SLI/X-fire? might need to work that out before getting 2 of them.

6950 is single gpu.

So true, don't spend any time to worry about that. Way better to have more single channel ram then to have less duel channel. (i.e. 12G is better then 8G even if the 8G is duel channel).
