Noobish Question about Hardware Parts
Hi guys,
I'm looking to get a new desktop PC relatively soon. I'm just wondering about these Intel Core i7 processors and the Intel Core 2 Quad processors. What exactly is the difference between these? Which do you think Windows 7 will work more efficiently with? In terms of RAM, how significant is the difference between DDR2 and DDR3? For example, am I better off with say 8GB of DDR2 or 4gb of DDR3? And will a NVIDIA or ATI graphics card with 1gb of memory be sufficient for maxing out the graphics on most modern games? I really want a top of the line computer, but I don't want to spend extra money on better hardware if it will only give me marginal benefits compared to the next best thing. Feedback appreciated!
