    Does anybody use Pentium D 820?

    I just ordered a similar system. I went with a 6600 video card but otherwise the same spec. I'll let you know my thoughts once its all here. I'm not a gamer either, planning on using it for general computing and some industrial design work (solidworks). -- Cheese
