    im probably going to order a 5790 and i just had a couple quick questions. How significant is the difference in the 2.0 and 2.2 ghz processors? I dont really know much about processor speeds so I wasnt really sure if it was worth it or not. Also, i figure for $35 more i'd get 1 2gb stick of ram instead of 2 1gb sticks, so i can later upgrade easier if i feel the need, worth it or no? thanks.

    difference is small, not even worth it. and yes, 1 2gb stick is better so that u can upgrade in the future to 4gigs, instead of a max 3.

    I'd say get the 2 gigs of ram 1 dimm, it gives you some more possibilities in the future.

    supposedly the the price factor from the 2.0 ghz to the 2.2 ghz isn't worth the money in terms of a speed boost but many people get the 1.8 to 2.0 because of a small price tag but a considerable speed boost.

    I got the 2.2 because of the fact that it tempted me =/.
