Nice. Good luck with it, let us know how it goes. :beer: I still haven't bought yet. I'm hoping the newer ones will have just as good or better OC's than the early ones.

I don't think I could get all those dividers to work on my setup. Maybe I have memory controller issues I dono. I will have to play around with that Gogar's Optimizer some more. Also I don't think my RAM will go too much higher with decent timings. I just thought having the ability to run a...

Yeah I run 1T on my Corsairs in sig no problem. Dual channel @220MHz=DDR440, no problems. I play BF2 online and use about 2/3 of my 2gb's of RAM. I have played on the same rig with 2x512 and the performance increase with 2 gigs while playing BF2 is huge. Many folks know this. 2 gb of RAM...

I would get a 2x1gb kit for sure. They are making some fast 1024 sticks these days. I will never go back to 2x512. Then again I game a lot.

Well you have a DFI MB so you can probably get higher HTT than I can. You could still get good clocks with the 9x multiplier on the 165. I, on the other hand would probably want the 10x multi of the 170 because I probably can't reach the same HTT as you. Thats how I'm looking at it, but...

I agree about the RAM. Having the 2Gb dual channel has made the most difference. The Corsair I have is decent for this air cooled rig. Anything faster (RAM) would be much less bang for the buck compared to a better GPU like you said. This is my first AMD/OCed rig and having had some...

I have also read/heard that there is very little if any performance gain when Gaming on a dual core. I have 2 gigs RAM running dual channel and as most have reported this makes a BIG difference when loading new maps on BF2. The RAIDed Raptors might help some also, but 95% of the time I...

Is it to late to get in on this? I want to buy the 165 version with 2x1mb L2. What weeks are people getting now from etailers like ZZF? Looking to hit 2.5-2.6 on air. Is this still reasonable with my setup in sig?

2006 is looking to be quite a year. With Vista, Socket M2, U3e games, SM4, PPU's and dual core GPU's? to mention just a few. I'm happy with my current setup, but the higher vcore and 8 phase power (among other things) have me wanting this for my next system. How long untill the...

Yeah, um corcentral, I'm lying. Good deal, thanks. Edit- On a more productive note. It seems there might be some issues with using a DVI to VGA adapter when outputting to the Samsung. I also read some reports saying the Sony looked great via DVI to HDMI @1920x1080. Guess I'd...

I just returned from CC where they had the Samsung DLP 60" 1080P display fed by a PC running COD2. I watched as the salesman went to the game options and set the resolution to 1920x1080 with AA and AF maxed along with all the other settings. I am unsure if the display was getting the...

I found some info at AVS forums that has me leaning towards the Samsung DLP as it will support 1920x1080 through the PC (VGA) port. The resolution support is also listed in the PDF user manual that xtknight linked to (had to install Acrobat) Thanks for the link anyway ;) Side note- I...

I Probably won't be in a big hurry to run Vista. Maybe after 6 months of updates. Hopefully there will be some backward compatibility options for people not running the latest hardware when DX 10 games start comming out. I read some 'predictions' at the INQ, but you know you have to take...

I need 1 more GTX for SLI and maybe upgrade my CPU to a 3700 San Diego. I plan on doing something like this anyway, but thought I would wait and see what the current setup can do @1920x1080. F.E.A.R. @ 1280x960 4xAA 16xAF maxed settings. Not too bad for a single card and a 3200...
