Thanks Tony

sorry for the attachment to my early post, must have been daydreaming. Tony

Really depends on what sims you run, how long you will wait before upping the cpu etc. A thriller 8 meg works for me but if I were to replace it today I would get a V3-2000. JM

A V2 works better for lower CPU speeds. His frames rates wont be terrfic with a 233 and a TNT.
