Awesome, thanks a lot :) P.S. - Does Seagate's version also have two platters, and similar performance to WD's?

From what I've read, it's stability and OC'ing capabilities. I've also always been an Asus fan :)

Alright, so I'm going with the Asus P5Q Pro. Any objections/suggestions before I place my order?

This is probably a stupid question, but the Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R has one 16x and one 8x PCI-E slot... would this impede CF/SLI performance?

Would it really be better to go with a dual core? Isn't the future heading towards the quad?

Any case recommendations? I was thinking either the Antec 900, Antec 1200, or Cooler Master Cosmos 1000.

Hello all-- My current PC was purchased in 10th grade--roughly 4 years ago. Struggling with Crysis and newer games has me building an entirely new system. The rundown is: - $1500 budget, preferably with tax & shipping. - A relatively future-proof system. - I worked my ass off at my last...

I apologize if I was wrong, is there a big difference between the 500gb and the 640gb you pointed out?

Thanks for the help so far guys, here are some changes I've made: - Samsung DVD/CD burner - $26.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16827151153 - WD 500gb hd - $84.99 (I really can't think of taking advantage of 640gb, but thanks for the suggestion)...

So I've been burning my eyes out for the past couple of weeks refining different gaming builds I've come up with. My obsession at the moment is whether or not I will be able to run Crysis smoothly at high settings or better (because in my mind if I can then I will be able to play anything for...

Thanks guys. I went for the X1950 Pro. I'm still riding on older parts so I wouldn't even want the X1950 XT if I could find it -- it would be a waste of money and be bottlenecked by everything else. I do have a question though: I have a 500 watt psu with 22 amps on the 12v rail, do you think...

Is a 512mb X1950 Pro a better option? Will 512mb honestly make a difference?

Here's the card I've been considering, anyone have any experience with it? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814102093

Hey guys, I've been researching different cards for the past week for my older AGP rig, and I need to make a decision quickly for Christmas :) My system stats: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Asus K8VSE Deluxe 1 gig PC3200 DDR-SDRAM Sapphire x800xt p.e. 256mb GDDR3 500 watt psu I'm a big...
