    Lol. I saw that, who wants onboard ram though. I dont. I heard about its great cooling features, and all of those 30 board features. The onboard ram thing is what scares me mostly I guess.

    I would have bought a motherboard with onboard PC6400 Cl5 DDR2 RAM, if it costs the same as me buying a motherboard and that same RAM. Having it onboard means it'll be faster, and I don't think I would need more than 2GB for quite awhile.

    So wait, just to say. If there were 8800 onboard graphics it would be faster than an add on card. Or am I just getting to deep into a barrell I can't get out of?

    Well, for you its a different story. You upgrade much more often than I do.

    Bear in mind that before this Core2Duo, I was running a 478 system. And I've not upgraded my RAM ever. I upgraded my graphics card on that system for a whole of 3 months, before selling it off for a $50 loss after deciding that the money would be much better spent on a new system (and it was).
