    Thinking about 8800gts need recommendations

    I currently have a e6600 system built with an x1900xt. Recently the voltage reg has been over heating (i think). It artifacts in simple games like Empire Earth, so rather than messing with it I'm thinking up stepping up to a dx10 card. I'm looking at the evga 8800gts 320mb and evga 8800gts...

    e6600 overheating

    Well just recently my stock speed e6600 and stock HSF have been overheating. I ran TAT at 100% on both chips and got a system alarm after the chip hit 70C. Thinking the HSF came unseated I removed the old thermal paste and put on new. Still the same thing. Does anyone know what the stock fan...

It was fine for a while now, when I play a...

    AHCI question

    I just noticed in my bios, that AHCI mode is not disabled for my SATAII drives. I read that this should be specified during windows setup, but is that the only way, or can I change it now and be ok?

    Good c2d board for around $100?
