[QUOTE="drealit, post: 382168, member: 70031"] Ya but 4GB's of ram is so cheap these days (hmmm actually I'm not sure what prices would be in UK versus the US) there's absolutely no reason not to go 4GB... not to mention all the prices I see for 2GB's are rip offs compared to the 4GB deals that come up each week. If I were you I would switch over to the GA-MA74GM-S2... one of the highest rated motherboards in terms of energy consumption. Get that along with a discrete graphics card like the HD 4670, 4650, or 4550... they will perform much better than the integrated HD 3200 that comes built into the 780G motherboard. HD/Bluray playback will be fully covered and also SD playback will be much better (the 780G is absolutely terrible at Standard Definition content especially if it is interlaced). I know all this because I started with a 780G and have no moved to the exact same setup I just recommended... 740G + HD4670 video card... it is far superior and I am only using a AMD X2 BE-2400 processor.
