Cooling....liquid or fans?
2nd Hard Drive...Yes or No?
Sound...Creative Labs or generic?
Ok for memory. The 4 x 1 GB will run a bit faster but you will probably be unable to upgrade to more ram so I would definitely go with the 2 x 2 GB.
For processor, gotta go with the quad core. Even though the specs of the Duo look better the quad will run faster in the end.
Cooling. This is debateable. Liquid would be ideal. They cool better and are way quieter. However, they seem to have a lot more problems than fans. Semi hard to control and understand. Also, fans are way cheaper. So iffy, but I'd go with fans.
2nd hard drive.. Definite.
Sound -- creative labs all the way. |
Thanks!
Can I upgrade to a 4 x 4 GB?
Wtf does quad core mean? Is it broken down or something? I don't understand the difference for some reason.
