as for the memory fair nuff asked for that.

as for the h/d its bout 4-5 yr old can,t complain as were the other components ,and my knowledge didn,t keep up with hardware, old rig ran well

didn,t want to spend too much and will knock this together for about 250 300
but now i,m wondering if i,ve chosen wrong path TIA
