I wouldn't mind a little overclocking, but I have never done it before so I don't want to ruin my new hardware. How far do you think that 3700+ could go on stock Vcore?

The 3700+ is cheaper. So you are saying that I could get probably 200-400 extra MHZ out of this processor without any extra voltage? I plan on running it with the stock HSF if that matters too. So basically all I would probably need to do to hit 2.4-2.6 GHZ is increase the HHT/FSB or whatever it...

So running completely stock (sorry I am just not into OC'ing), what would perform better for gaming? I have heard of several threads where people with San Deigos were experiencing 18-20% boosts in performance over a similarly clocked Venice/Winchester/etc. This sounds a bit odd and may have been...

X800XL but I would imagine at that res it might struggle a bit on modern games on high settings. Definetely no AA/AF for the majority of games though. The next gen cards will be "launched" this month, but will probably not be available for another two months at a reasonable price. Of course...

My friend has an x300SE and plays CS:S on it, barely...

Lets hope. Although then nVidia would just be down-right slaughtered. There would be no competition. Unless of course the G70 was the next 5xxx series...

Even though this *supposedly* won't be a paper launch, I wonder what prices on these cards at launch will be? If they are reasonable, I am thinking I will have to put off upgrading. Funny they come out the same day as BF2, the game I am looking forward to most, especially with a new build.

Leadtek for OC'ing. EVGA for price. BFG for nice warrenty. Gainward for uhhh dunno. PNY and XFX do suck. Stay away.

Nice choice. And it's sort of funny you got a better card waiting for your older, slower card to get back from RMA.

X800XL if you can spend around $250-$270. 6600GT if you can spend around $150-$170. Your processor should be just fine for both of them.

When will it actually be available to buy though, and at a reasonable price?

Bump.

Bump.

Tell me about it. The temperature in my room raises from 100 to 110 with this stupid CRT in my room. I am a Tucson resident as well.
