Unless there's a good reason for getting the asus 785, the gigabyte 790 is better.

Both are excellent chipsets, but the 785 comes with onboard, which should serve you no purpose. Not to mention, $80 for almost any gigabyte ATX motherboard is a steal.

Careful when unlocking cores on the callisto. There's a pretty good chance that you won't be able to.

The 785 is because the 790 I found was DDR2 only, and the other 790s are a fair bit more expensive.

If unlocking the cores doesn't work, I can either send it back or just use it as a dualcore.

If I can get kingston DDR3 cheaper than corsair DDR3, should I? Or is corsair worth the extra dollars?

The sword and the faith

I wouldn't go with Kingston, the one time I dared use some of their RAM on a build for a friend, it was nothing but problems and errors.

I've used Kingston plenty of times in customer machines and in my own machines, every company is bound to give you a bad experience at some time or another, and simply deciding they must be bad after one try is an oversimplification, I'd say if the Kingston RAM is the cheapest for the quality, go with it.



None.

Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units

Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff

NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios
[10:13 pm]
Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations
[10:12 pm]
Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago
[05:47 pm]
NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.
