Ok, I got Orthos and it's working nicely. Thanks.

also is vcore the same thing as cpu voltage? I should probably back off on the cpu voltage eh? Maybe go back to like 1.368?

I'm having some trouble with an overclock of my e6300. Something seems wrong when i'm running dual instances of Prime95. It doesn't appear that both Prime95's are running the tests. Only one seems to be doing anything and my processor is only going to 57% or so. With both torture tests...

Wow, i can get an 8800 for less then $400? Where? I guess i should do that, but i'm still not saving much money eh?

Really? Wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot though? I doubt they would sell that many copies of crysis if you had to have a dx10 card. Does that sound like a mistake to anyone else?

I'm trying to save money on my new build and i'm having trouble deciding if the x1950xtx 512 is worth the extra money over the x1950 pro 512. I'm looking at these two cards: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814131021...

Unfortunately, i'm already over budget and an 8800 would definitely be out of the question. If anything i need to find ways to save more money if i can cut back somewhere. I already own an Audigy 4 that i'll be using. Screw that onboard audio BS. Big Roy

How do i get the fan to work? I need a place to plug it in on the mobo but i don't think there are any extra are there? I think there is 1 extra but i would be using that one for the case fan right? Also, this is going to sit high up and collide with the CPU cooler. How do i prevent that...

Thanks Kango. I feel a bit more confident now and i'm definitely going to try to OC to 3.0ghz. I added some RAM heat spreaders and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro to my wishlist to ensure that i don't fry anything. My only concern now is the case. I don't want to spend a lot of money on...

No, they're just cheaper. And i initally thought that if i was using 667 ram i wouldn't be able to use a motherboard that uses 800. But now i realize that they will work. Which is why i'm considering the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 now. That and I may try to overclock to say 3.0ghz. I have read on...

Assuming i decide to shell out the extra dough and get a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 mobo instead, will I be able to overclock using this RAM? http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.asp?imodule=CT2KIT12864AA667&WSMD=CT2KIT12864AA667&WSPN=CT2KIT12864AA667#info Also, how far could i get with stock...

Is this the board you meant to recommend? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813123014 The link you gave for that other epox board doesn't support core2duo...

I considered that but the x1950pro has better image quality and performance, plus it can do HDR+AA at the same time.

I am going core2duo. This doesn't support c2d. Thanks though.

Yeah, but i want the 512MB of RAM. Max textures and a bit of future proofing....ya know what i mean?
