Have got two 2GB sticks as it should be faster this way. I plan to have Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu Lucid 64bit. I’m hoping to set up both OS’s almost exactly the same so switching between them only changes a couple of things.
How should I share files between the two?
The Phenom II X2 is dual core, and is clocked at 3.2GHz. I think (for now) this will be plenty fast for me. I’m doubly pleased this computer has become a gaming rig without really changing much of the price.
I think I’ll get a bluray drive when I actually get a bluray disk, and a decent monitor. As it stands, my 17” monitor wont be great for HD movies. When I head off to uni, I’ll have to get a decent 22” screen with 1080p.
Good to hear you like gigabyte though. I prefer this motherboard to the MSI I had originally chosen. The inclusion of USB3 will be great for when my camera uses USB3, or when I get a USB3 card reader etc.
I actually bought all of the parts last night, so I’ve pretty much concreted that list above. I’ll be saving my money for a good screen and a bluray player at this stage though…
