I think Mobi's talking about joint health and the like. Talk to any 40+ person and you're likely to hear about knees that are going to hell in a handbasket through normal wear and tear. You might live to 80, but you certaintly will not be doing what you could at 20.

There's recremended, and then there's realistic. Throw an FX-55, gig of ram, and one GTX in a system and the entire machine will draw 285 watts when under load.

You mean 2gigs of ram, made out of two 1gig sticks? In that case, I've only found one decent set. OCZ has a set that can do 2-3-2-5 on A64 systems. You can find it at newegg. Corsair has sets too, but they've all got considerably higher latencies.

The GDDR3 is running at the same clock speed as the GDDR1, so the only benefit is the GDDR3's lower power comsumption and heat production. Otherwise the cards will perform the same. It's a non issue.

If you purchase a 9800, make sure that the memory has a 256bit-wide bus, and not a 128bit-wide bus. It's one of many manufacturer's favorite ways of reducing the cost of that board, and it really hammers performance. The built by ATI 9800s all have 256bit memory, 3rd party boards are the ones you ha...
