Ruggbutt Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) It's replacing a Core2Duo e8500 rig, 4 gigs of OCZ Reaper RAM that's overclocked to 3.91ghz on air. The couple of parts that aren't shown in the pic below are the X-Fi Titanium, 150 gig Raptor and 1 tb Caviar Black (32mb cache). I already have it put together with Win 7 installed, it boots into the OS insanely fast. Still have to tie the cables down and clean up the inside of the case then it's on to overclocking. I've also disabled the paging file, no need for it with 12 gigs of RAM. Edited December 11, 2010 by Ruggbutt Quote
Panama Red Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) You are correct in that you do not need a paging file with 12 GB of RAM until you do. What I mean is there are some programs that absolutely demand a paging file, no matter how much RAM you have. Unfortunely, you do not know which ones they are until you get a CTD because the program will not operate. This is why on my i7 Win7 gaming machine with 12 GB of RAM, I still have a paging file.
