Possible cpu upgrade opinions/ advice?
I'm currently running a E6850, I may soon have the opportunity to throw a QX9770 in this box. So far as I know my striker extreme board supports the chip. My issue is my ram it's pc2 8500 reaper. Now the chip is a trade, a very favorable one. Ram however I would have to purchase any kind of upgrade. This will obviously be the final upgrade I plan for this rig until I can afford to replace it. (may be sometime yet)
Anyhow, just curious if anyone thinks I should bother with the ram upgrade to compliment the new chip or if I should just be happy with it given my money situation is tight right now?
