with 3 pci express 16 slots
Cpu Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition QX9775 "LGA771 Yorkfield" 3.20GHz (1600FSB)
vid HIS ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express)
1 at first with mabey 1 or 2 more to be added later
Memory OCZ 2GB DDR3 PC3-16000C9 2000MHz (again 2 more gigs to be added later)
Hopefully this will be able to run bf42.

Got any other stuff going spare? Graphics card in mine is ok, just would like some more DDR2 ram and I'm broke at the moment  And anything up from an E6600 would be nice  _________________  LINUX : If it was any good, they'd charge for it.

I never charge people for my old stuff,
so eko, you want the memory? or the mobo? my cpu is a e6600 so no improvment there
and mac can get the 8800's?
it will be a week or so while i'm waiting for the parts to arrive,
so pm me addresses and i get the stuff to you's

I'd be more than happy with just the memory thanks mate, don't want to be greedy as the rest of my gear is "up to the job" as it were and I'd rather see other people get up to spec so they can't whine about not being able to run COD4 Cheers mate   _________________ LINUX : If it was any good, they'd charge for it.

Well if the other mobo is any better than mine and nobody wants it, it would be welcome lol Got an Asus P5N-E SLI 650i Socket 775 Onboard Audio ATX at the moment, much of an improvement? Is it even worthwhile? I'm a bit thick with stuff like that  _________________ LINUX : If it was any good, they'd charge for it.
