I just want to know what people think to the spec in general, and also, if there are any glaring mistakes.
For example, the PSU being adequate if the cpu and grapphics card were under fuill load, and the standard cooling being sufficient with the T900 case etc.
I was also thinking of changing to 8Gigs RAM and installing a 64 bit OS, but I'm not sure if its worth it. Anyone got any ideas about this?
Also, is it just me or does Intel equivalents seem to be much more expensive?
Thanks
