Hey guys just a quick question. Basically is there an actual measurable (by the human eye) difference between 6GB and 12 GB of DDR3? If there is what about between 6 and 8?

Thanks

Well it was only $30 more so I thought there'd be no problem. But I get the point. Thanks guys for answering. :)

Alright I'm still attempting my first build, and I'm starting a new thread becuase people would read the completely out of date original post and not know the new info, so here it goes:

.

.

So far I have,

.

.

Thermaltake V9 VJ40001W2Z Black

Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz

ASUS ENGTX275/HTDI/896MD3 GeForce GTX 275

Antec TruePower Quattro TPQ-1000 1000W

HITACHI 0A38016 1TB 7200 RPM

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1

CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin

LITE-ON Black Blu-Ray DVD Drive & DVD Burner

LITE-ON Black IDE DVD-ROM Drive

Nippon Labs Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive

LINKSYS EG1032 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI Network Adapter

.

.

First is anything here seem incompatible, or not a good value? If these are all fine the total using newegg is 1285, and if I use ibuypower for pretty much the same stuff it's 1385 including a motherboard, meaning I think it's cheaper; how is that possible?

.

.

What motherboard would you guys suggest for this setup?

.

Thanks all

Ive actually switched to a PSI ArmorX. I could get a 750W Corsair or an 800W no namer PSU So an i7 quad 2.66 is better than a core 2 quad 3.0? can someone explain why? This seems completely counter intuitive to me, is it the cache? So what is the final verdict on GTX 275 vs SLI GTX 250?
