    Thinking about running this for my OS & Progs http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820233075 It is receiving very good reviews due to all the Samsung internals....and no studdering. I have a WD 500 and will be buying a WD 640 for mass. Thoughts?

    ah, I agree. Didn't even see that there was no reviews on that ram. Good info about the PSU, I had no idea. I have the corsair 620 in this current rig and it has been flawless. Thanks again....

    The more I think about this, the more the Asus v2 board appeals to me. I say that due to the lack of Printer ports. I have the option on my lasers to utilize Ethernet connectivity. Might as well have two nic cards and bypass the router eh? Also, with Zap's information, I think I will...

    Good info, thanks I am a little apprehensive about this Foxconn board. I can't find anyone on here that has used one.... and there is only 3 reviews on newegg. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a more documented board and time tested board. I do not like being a test mule for...

    I am a bit worried about things not being compatible. The biggest things being the equipment. I run CNC lasers off the machine ...but they work like printers, so it should be ok. My Iphone should be ok.... Do you guys have a preference on the GPU manufacturer? XFX, EVGA, MSI...

    Exactly what I wanted to hear! OK, so the 920 i7 locked. The PSU is easy. The case is pretty simple...along with the peripherals. Need a MB, GPU, and RAM. ( I have always had piss poor luck with my RAM choices. I am not qualified to choose) What do you guys think about the MB I posted...

    Gotcha, thank you for explaining. Do you think the 920 would be adequate ?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I will stick with Intel and the i7. The reading I do the more it seems just heads & tails ahead of AMD. I have always been an Intel guy in the past..... alyarb, do you have a link to the bloomfield? I found a bunch of reviews on it....but no where did I find...

    Hello folks, I do a great deal of graphic work for my business. I use PS CS3, Coreldraw x4, AutoCad/mastercam.... and a few other supporting programs. Most are open at the same time. I also do a bit of gaming (on/off line). I actually stopped buying games because the current rig is not...
