    What 1000w better

    I know bit of overkill and could use good 750w but the price difference not much here. I only got 600w with 2 12v rails at 18a which is cutting it close for current setup. Just be good to know that cpu at 100% and both gpu at 100% there would still be spare power . Not that that happens but...

    8800 GTS 3DMark06 score too LOW???

    Although you would need quad core for 11k-12k score since cpu has such high rating. Whats your fps in graphics tests. If just installed maybe driver has not installed right.

But when i brought in New Zealand 8800gt etc where quite a bit more. Single n-vidia cards very good performance and...

    9800GTX vs 3870 Crossfire???

    I wouldn,t crossfire read this http://www.geekstogo.com/forum...80459.html&pid=1113480 I nearly did that. then people wonder why it doesnt scale well on their setup. If you want two cards much better to get 3870x2 or better 9800x2.I would just by 9600 or 8800 and wait for next generation

    graphics card for new build (2560x1600)

    WAIT for the new cards . Ati should beat the ultra and i bet nvidia will top them. At least if you wait you wont kick yourself later. Im waiting , and have not picked which camp . Even though my board only able to do crossfire. Nvidia should release one powerfull single card.

    Q6600, stock temps r no good

    I had difference on temps over 10c as well on my first install mainly one core really high and it was because one of the pins wasnt fully down. If you undo them should be able to tell if one or two are not tight like the others. Hope that helps

And 56 still quite a way from thermal specifications of 71. Can overclock more but happy at that gives some room for the...
