    How long should I expect this CPU \ MOBO last?

    more like 3.2-3.6 x 4 = 12.8 to 14.4 vs 3.743 x 2 = 7.506 how can you overclock the e8400 and not the q6600?? oh..by the way, i am sure it will last 2-3 years if not 5-10 year like that

    I decided on two consoles.

    wii and 360 owner. recently returned the xbox360 and got a ps3. Most of the good games on the 360 are fps games. no keyboard and mouse support ruined it for me. Gear of war, cod4 and bioshock ( 3 of the best 360 fps games ) are on the pc. To me, the 360 is too limited. 1. no mouse/kb...

    HP PL5072N 50" Plasma

    The tv have to be 1080p for that to happen. That hp plasma or your cheapo plasma is NOT 1080p. you will only be playing/watching at 720p. I dont think there's any 1080p 50inches plasma for under $1200 yet.

    Could My RAM Be Holding Me Back?

    i would guess that your mobo is holding you back. Unless you really needed SLI, there's no good reason for nvidia mb. If any Q6600 doesnt make it to 3.0, something else is to blame. for ref, my q6600 g0 is at 3.5@1.48 on a p35 mb.
