Hmm, I actually meant the Q8200/Q8300 earlier and not qQ8800 ..sorry for the
errata.
Piotr, wouldnt it be better if one goes by the benchmarking results for
multithreaded applications (games) rather than just l3/l2 cache nos. eh. You
know the best place to lookup would be tomshardware charts, again I am not
the one building this machine, so wont get into nitty gritty details of it.
Yeah I know for the price of ram 8gig seems to be ok, but again not all have
a free unlimited budget.
My two cents.
