So after upgrading my 8800GT to a 5870, I wasn't so impressed with the performance upgrade. I'm thinking that there's a severe bottleneck in my system and am debating the best way to upgrade.
My current rig:
E8400 @ 3.6ghz with Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
2x2gb of G Skill PC800 ram
GPU Sapphire ATI...
the prime95 website is pretty convoluted about whether it supports vista 64, so anyone knows if it does?
and if it doesn't, what do I use in place of prime95 to test ram/cpu stability at O/C'ed settings.

I got a 3 year old WD raptor (36gb version) that's been with me for several computer upgrades. I clean installed windows vista 64 on it after a recent major upgrade. However, I've been experiencing some kind of weird random lag/freeze whenever I do normal daily tasks, such as loading a website...

Thanks
Btw, can someone please also explain why would you only use a PC6400 (800mhz) DDR2 ram at 3.6? Is it possible to use say 1066mhz at 3.6ghz...
Since our family PC doesn't turn on at all anymore, even after replacing the RAM and power supply, we decided that it is time to upgrade. And since we're going to replace the mobo, it's inevitable that we need to pretty much upgrade everything else (the mobo still carries AGP slots), such as...
Bought an ATI X800XT AIW from the ATI trade-up program, but so far can only overclock to 518/522 stably without artifacts. Which of the video card coolers do YOU think is the best? Please also include whether if it includes ram sinks as well, and whether if it's DHES (Direct Heat Exhaust...

Not sure if it's that hot, since I'm not too familiar with laptop prices. Parents got it and it sounded like a good deal to me. Seems like they bought the last one at Frys in Las Vegas :o
