I only upgrade when I can double my pc speed minimum... so since I was using a 6800 gs before... this card more than doubles it, no question... my 3700+ 1 mb cache is just about 1/2 of what I would get from 6400 at 3.2ghz, so looking at that one soon. Hard drives don't matter (much), stripe...

Just bought the newegg card, looks like a good chance to overclock it fairly easy...

I am looking to do a near similar build myself... E6400 P5B Deluxe but was looking at OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) OCZ2A8002GK are the SUPER TALENT 2GB (2 x 1GB) a much better choice ? and an 8800gtx, although will probably hold out to see if the ATI really does post the numbers...

I definitely appreciate the reply on the "likely" wording... I am for sure a newbie on OC'ing. I read about it, and have read through the FAQ's (just not the mem one yet), etc. Never actually tried it though. The difference in price between a 3200 and a 3500 is significant enough that I want...

True there... thought I heard rumor of it but could be wrong... perhaps the x800XL... who knows.

Well one prob is, they dont offer the two fans you mentioned in their system pre-build... could go with: Heatsink Fan: 130972 - Dynatron A21 SK-V2 for AMD Opteron/64/FX... Thanks for the suggestion regarding the K8N, didn't realize the difference before between the T and N till you mentioned...

I am looking to pick up the same deal... did you get the OCZ from them also? not sure how to tell which might be the plat rev. 2 everyone is using.

I am looking to upgrade my system finally from an athlon 2.1 to a higher end 64... I am hoping to go with a 3000+ or 3200+ and OC it to 2.65x10 or close to it with the 3000+, the one thing I really dont have a grasp on is the memory issue though. What are your thoughts on the following setup...

yep... just went down and picked up two of them, just had the guy at the register put each one on a seperate reciept for me, one on my CC one in cash... now to send in the rebates, one to my work address, one using my home address... mmmm almost free ram... soooo good.

I am after a bit of reading going to upgrade to a EPoX 8RDA+ with a XP 2100. My question is, the EPoX 8RDA+ uses PC 3200 ram... I don't especially want to pay for the premium memory on the market right now... what kind of speed problems or compatibilty issues will I have if I decide to just...

Sorry wasn't clear on that, I tried each one seperately and each video card alone, just to make sure it wasn't one of those items. I got through to their tech support after a while and the person thinks it might be a short between the case mounts and the board causing it to never post video but...

Not sure exactly what it is that is causing it to do this, I haven't had this problem before with systems I have put together so I am guessing it is a bad MB or processor... Here is what I have tried: Athlon-c 1.2 Crucial 1600 DDR Corsair 2100 DDR with hard drive attached and without, with...

I am looking to put together a new athlon system, a 1.1ghz probably and want to go with the higher end equipment, so I was thinking of getting pc2100 DDR but I don't know what motherboard to go with... can anyone offer a suggestion? I couldn't find a review of the 761's on the site. Thanks for...
