You can get the Q6600 to work at 4Ghz but yet to find a way to make it stable. Crysis does support crossfire and sli but for some reason Crysis does seem to use it very well. In fact performace has been known to drop when using crossfire or sli.

3rd setback one of my RAM sticks doesnt work so I'll have to send them back. But for now I am getting the system up and running with the one stick that does work.

Your not the only one. I just bought another dell used for $100 CDN for it with a 2.4 on the CPU PIV. I know for sure that I will be neeeding to at least bring it to two gigs to make it acceptable like my thinkpad that I have over here. And maybe slowly transfering over some stuff over to it. But I have to find out since some of the generic brands of Ram for a clone computer may not work properl for a standard brand name machine. THe video card is definatel being change for the FX5200 that I have over here to play the game tron.



When I was at a clients place last night installing drivers for his new laptop running vista basic on it. I was about read to hurl that badly on it. I know now that I definately do not like vista. For me vista ver bad bad OS Don't like it too much over here. Windows so and so. but linux/unix preferred over here. I didn't have the heart to tell them how I didn't like it. I just mentioned in so many words that for me linux is a preferred OS. But others do like vista it is all depends on who and what you need with vista.

I got my wish list that I'm going to save up for... might cost close to $5,000 but that is because I'm going to use it for 3D editing, video editing, making music, playing games/emus, etc...

I'll most likely just get a flat panel from viewsonic or dell.

But see, I'm also looking into buying a $3,000 video camera and thats not going to happen anytime soon... I wished I was rich..

My biggest concern is about AMD these days. They haven't been doing well in the market and that makes this 'AMD Fanboy' a little worried. They might be doing better now but 2007 wasn't a good year for the company.

My biggest complaint is how 3D GFX cards are so super expensive these days. I remember when the G-Force 3 sold around $300 and then when I got my G-Force FX 5980 ultra, it set me back about $400. Now the card I want will cost around $800 and should be SLI ready if I decide to expand on that.

One area I'm really happy about are the SoundBlaster cards these days. I can get a recent (X-Fi?) OEM for only $88... or add a few for their platinum models.

As for OS? I might wait for Windows 7 instead of buying Vista due to compatibility issues with all the money I invested in all my software. If M$ had any sense, they would have made 'backwards compatibility' as a major factor in their OS's because people like me invest a crap load of money on applications and games just to find out that they are useless when you upgrade to a new OS. However, XP is a great OS and I never had any real issues with it (that doesn't include Vundo and other crap floating around online).

Asus motherboards are the best for me because I never (and I mean NEVER) had any problems with their stuff and their firmware upgrades are simple to use and flawlessly installed (from my experience). BUT THEIR MANUALS SUCK!!!! Why can't they produce a decent manual and better explain their jumper settings? I hope they improved over the years since it's been about that long since I built my last computer.

Anyways.. I'm excited about building my next PC, but I'm very depressed because I'm so very poor right now. Hell, last week I put a Milk-Shake on lay-away. Maybe in a few weeks I can afford to buy it.

I was born with nothing... and I still have most of it left.

Thanks MM! abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

yea I'm using 3 the same version, I may have needed to format it for the forums, I pasted from txt, must be a bug in my txt file format. I looked at it in wordpad, but maybe I should have saved it then repasted it.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Should we post it even if we are usin 2 or more computers? Since I am using an old dell gx150 and a IBM thinkpad r32 over here.

Please, post what you want. I'm using a OC'd system profile, saved in my software. My stock "singlecore" aqua-mark is 65,000.

This system is fine tuned to low temps on my processor and about 160 F. Vcard. They are both overclocked, and alg. tuned, with some tweaking.
