Solves your file size issue, storage, and can be made to be redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

RAM I have 8 GB of this one... http://www.hoh.de/PC-Komponenten/Arbeitsspeicher/Desktop/DDR3/1600---2000/Hersteller/GSkill/GSkill-4GB-KIT-RipJaws-PC3-16000-DDR3-2000-CL9-RH_i6200_102642.htm if you work a lot with it you should go for fast RAM like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
