is better 2GB DDR2 800mhz or 4GB DDR2 667mhz with different memorys? my motherboard not can accept 4gb 800mhz, idk the why, or is cuz the memory are different idk

i would add 4GB cuz the minimum requirement of Windows 7 Memory is 2GB

Larger RAM is bigger, disregard the memory clock speed. It doesn't matter if you install different brands of ram in your slot.

It doesn't matter if you install different brands of ram in your slot.

it does matter because then dual channel mode can cause compatibility issues, or more likely - drop both modules to slowest timings/frequency, and by that wasting some of the available performance.
But certainly, biggest module is better than fastest performing one.
and Jalicno is right - the performance boost isn't huge, but it can bottleneck some workloads.

I'm using Samsung and Hynix modules, both run at 800mhz in dual channel mode :S

but with the slowest timings.

Why would you have a 1000w PSU?

@Krissi:

Maybe the 1000W is overkill but I think he'll SLi the card soon lol

1000w is still an overkill for a SLI setup, fine for a triple or quad cards. A 850w would be fine for 2 770's.

As long as you don't mind the electrical bills, a 1.000 W power supply is pretty cool. Yet owerpowered.

Yep it is cool, we got the solar panels at home, the government always pays us money for the electricity bills thanks to our solar panels and sun

Sorry guys, forgot to include it in my list lol 

This is the one that I have

SSHD ain't worth it. It just uses the SSD to gain more write speed but will struggle because of the platter.

What kind of activities would a home user need a 3+ graphics card setup for?

I thought most people can play the latest games on max settings with one good graphics card.

You can but people nowadays need more juice to power up their system. Some people are just linking GTX 760s now lol
