@PurdueRy: I know, I know! D-: *is panicking!* @asdftt123: Stay in touch on this thread. I will post it up very soon. Maybe in a few minutes; however maybe in a few hours. (It's according to what my classes are like.) Thanks guys, and I'll post back soon enough. :-D

@PurdueRy: I love you.

Yeah. >:-) No kiddin'.

8steve8: Wow! Thanks a lot! I am mostly going to check out that 24". :-D Also...I am going with the Xeon. But I keep hearing from many persons that I should just go with the higher powered CPU, like a 3.0ghz duo or something. I don't think I will be disappointed, but I would like the...

@Mattz0r: Thank you for the links and the advice! I will make sure to read up on it. I have read the wikis and stuff, but nothing compares to a full-on guide. :-) @ChronoReverse: Alright, that sounds fine then. :-D Thanks for the input! @Markfw900: I think Mattz0r was simply...

@Mattz0r: Thanks for your reply! I have a question, which by your opinion is a fine answer (;-P): Do you -recommend-, as a 'first-timer with a nice PC', that I overclock; by which I would get the X3220? I have heard dangers in overclocking, the wear and tear; however I am completely new...

@ChronoReverse: Oh, I understand. Well, I found a X3220 for cheaper than any Q6600 that I have found...so I'll just stick with it. :-) Does anyone actually recommend the X3220 over all the other processors right now? Or is there something else out there that is better? Overclocking is...

@Piuc2020: I love how direct you are. xD You really make me feel like you know what you're talking about, and because of that, I trust you. :-P It makes sense that it would be of higher quality/more reliable, but I was just worried that it wasn't the best for gaming, or that it wouldn't...

@ChronoReverse: So... That means, pretty much, that the X3220 will just run hotter and need more power, for not much more performance? I heard the X3220 can overclock better. So, if I ever overclock, at least I will be prepared. Still, though, regarding performance for -gaming-, is a...

Greetings everyone, I'm currently building a new system, and have hit quite the roadblock, suddenly, in "what's better"-ness. The X3200 or the Q6600? Let's ask a series of questions to find out. "The Q6600 is the same as a X3220. The X3220 is considered server grade which might get you a...

"Xeon's are meant for servers and work stations. Don't buy them for normal use. the 8mb L2 cache is only for L2. There is different cache for L1. For what processor I would choose the quad core because it can last longer but for now and the forseeable future the faster dual cores would be better...

@HarvardAce: A good point. And noted. Thus, if any "excess money" (Is there such a thing? Who am I? o.O) should most definitely go into a bigger monitor. Now, I'm not saying go all the way up to like 46" or something - certainly not. However, if I can get a 24", then I might as well...

@Mr Fox: Lol. "B.S. factor" -- well, at any rate I am glad that it is debunked! :-) And yes, I love doing my homework (really), but it's hard to learn about all of this massive knowledge base when you hardly know where to start. I think I've done pretty well over the past two weeks...

Dah, I figured that. SLI is silly. :-P Yeah, and I will have DX10. *cheers* I just hope that, you know, it's not too bad. If I ~need~ a physics card I can always buy one sometime. :-)

Luckily I already know the guy I am rooming with. If he complains I can just rip out his throat...no complaining if there's no voice box! :-) Sorry, that was violent. :-| I still am 50/50 about getting a motherboard with SLI. It just seems to be "safer" if I just grabbed one with...
