Hey Slappy00 I'm running a 175 and need more speed to do Pictures. When you find the answer let me know. R Rea

Hey I agree partly with Makubex GB, I have a 175 Opty. The Key here is balance, grasshopper. everything you put in your rig matters. So a fast CPU and High OC with slow HD and sucky Ram gives you WTF rating from yourself. I built my rig on the way I'm going to use it. I OC'ed the rig based on...

Hey HO and kpb,:D I agree with most of what you say. I too do a lot of Photoshop CS2, AutoFX and the like. My Rig, I just built was focused on the Bottlenecks of the HD's and the way I use my system. Photoshop can be used many different ways. There is more than one answer. I am a Photographer...

Well wizboy11, What did you finally do? I have a 175 and I OC about 10%. It's rock solid. runs cool after the Prime tests. The memory/CPU combonation is good. I went with the 175 so I wouldn't have to OC to much and make the Rig last longer. For a few MHZ I haven't seen any big difference...

Hey CpuDesigner, Just wondering what you finally came up with, and how the Rig is running. R U having any problems?? I don't have any problems with my on board sound, but that is because I have an old set of creative Speakers (7 years old)FPS2000 and they still sell them out on the net...

Hello velocci, I am doing the same thing you were at last month. I'm courious to find out which way you went and the set up you went with. I don't do any gaming I just want the rig to hover from the speed.................... I bought the case Cooler Master 830 Stacker and have Power...
