Planning new computer for the Aion? Read here!

saw some 32bit vs 64bit discussion..I looked into that earlier, and Vista 64bit was running 32bit programs approx 10% faster than 32 bit Vista, and the new vanilla Vista 64bit is even faster.

Both OS' cost the same, 64 bit is more futureproof, even if you have no use of it now, its still faster, and it allows you to go beyond 4gb of system memory...OEM computers already come with 2, 3 and 4gb of system memory...the norm for gaming PC's these days is 4gb (ram is cheap as balls, you can get 2x2gb of 800mhz PC6400 for under $100...), it makes no sense to get a 32 bit OS when the max ram you will see is ~3gb.

ZOMG I FOUND WHAT I NEED!!!!
well people say that PCIE 2.0 works on PCIE X16.....so im getting GTX 280 when they drop.....( call me fanboy but i just dont like ATI )
And new PSU.....and ill play Aion on max settings XD
I dont rly use AA......or any of that so i guess itl be overkill but might be worth it for future games :3

PCI 2.0 and x16 are 2 completely different things, thats like asking can I use a 2.0ghz processor if my motherboard takes dual cores?
