    XFX First to Use Premium Reference Design for Radeon HD 4770

    ddr5 really dosnt need ramsinks, so adding them would just add extra expence(and thus higher price) without adding tangable bennifit. also this cards not quite as long as many others(or it dosnt look as long as say my x1900xtx) so it probbly dosnt need as much support.

    as for a PSU, I will toss you a few suggestions, but please dont buy a cheap ass psu, they may seem fine at first, then blow taking everything with them. BFG 800watt psu(designed by jonny guru) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702004 or FSP 600watt blue storm...

    Windows Vista32 bit or 64!!!

    sp2 makes vista/2008 alot snappier/quicker, also your codecs have alot to do with video thumbnails loading try the vista codec pack(theres a windows7 version as well) seems silly to me that people are all gung ho about 7, just like they where all gung ho about vista, would bet when it comes...

    wintek ampx ddr2 800, it will do 1180 at 2.2v with ease, biostar ta770(great clocking board), 6000+@3.33gz(can go higher but temps get nasty if i take it above 3.4, and summers on the way so i keep it where it is) you have no damn clue about this board, or for that matter clocking amd chips...

    Intel or AMD which would be best for me.

    tri chan really isnt the issue, the k8/k10 chips are not that diffrent and dont bennifit from crazy bandwith as much as intel chips do, go back and look at ddr1 vs ddr2 and ddr2 vs ddr3, the gains are small, the chips just arent designed to need the massive bandwith intel chips have relyed on...

    am2+ only really came because mobo makers enlarge didnt put large enought eeproms on boards to allow for an update to support phenom chips, asus boards(and a few others) had the space to update and thus can still run whatever chip you want(well given asus updated the bios for the latist chips...
