I use my computer specifically for gaming. The main reason I'm doin this is because my GF wants a decent computer, and I would love to give her mine since she doesnt care much about upgrading and what not, and do an overhaul on my system. I'm looking at a 16:10 20.1 inch monitor, a 8800gts...

Right now I have an opty 165 oc'd to 2.7ghz, but I'm caught in the "I cant go any further corner". How big of a perfomance difference will I notice going from the 165 to the e4300 or the e6320, and is the $50+ worth the 4 meg L2 cache?

I have to say, its sad that we're waiting patiently for ANYTHING. You'd think that they would want to give us a teaser, just to keep us from goin nuts. I have an AMD system now, and a spare chip lying around, but as of today, if I build a system, its an intel system (as I'm sure most everyone...

It's close to what I have, but you are backing yourself into a corner you cant upgrade out of. What are you using this for?

My 6800gt has done me well (at the time I got it, it was one of the top dog cards), but I'm set on a 640 or the gtx, as I would like to get another 2 years out of it. I've been thinking of going with a 20.1'' lcd for $200, but I need the card first as the native res is 1680x1050. Here's the...

I've been waitin for the r600 just to see if they will either outperform the 8800 series or possibly drive the prices down on the gts/gtx. Without a doubt I will be going with the DX10 series. I've waited this long, so whats another month or 2. Outside of graphics, strong enough system to handle...

How can I get a second F@H application running on my T7200? I have a second folder seperate from the original, but it says that it can only run one instance of it.

I know I need a graphics card update, still on a 6800gt and its showing its age. How much longer will the rest of my components last: opty 165 @ 2.7ghz 1.36vcore 2g kingston pc3200 (4x512) jetway 939gt-4-sli 6800gt pci-e (400/1100) Also I'm considering getting either the 8800gts 640mb...

For the most part the system looks fine. If you read the article on the hitachi 1TB drives, you'll see RAID has no signifigant performance gains in games. I'd say change them out for a nice large capacity drive. Also look for the P182 instead of the p180, as the 182 has better cable management...

Wait a few more days to order. Intel is cutting prices. Also as a side note, I cant see your wishlist...do you mind posting the specs you have? What are you gonna use your computer for? Also, in most cases, onboard sound is just fine (works good with my x-530's).

updated to SP2? Prolly a dumb question with your post count. Also check your disk management (control panel --> administrative tools --> computer management --> storage --> local disk) and see if u can resize your partition

laptop: c2d t7200 Desktop: opty 165 @2.7ghz

I have 2 systems running F@H under the same account. Am I getting point credit from both systems? Also does large WU give more points?

Blah, thats too much work....guess I'll save for a decent modular psu. Any suggestions? My current PSU is a tagan 480w, and it's done me good, but too many cables, hence why I wanted to clip it. Will it be tough enough to handle a 640mb 8800gts?

I've done some wire work before (shortened fan cables + soldered back together) with no real issues, but the fact of 480 watts goin thru my body isnt all that much fun. I'll try it eventually while I clean up my case (p180) and try and fix the bulges in the side and door. If anyone has a good...
