I'm an idiot :o I know...hense why I'll probably be returning it for a P35 based mobo. I got suckered into it :mad:

uhh...what? :confused:

Ok...well then I'm not ALL that far off... How does it do on that CPU test? Mine was lucky to break 2 fps...:D

Hi everyone - Ok, I just got my new system up and running yesterday. FIRST OF ALL - I had every intention of going with an ABIT IP35 Motherboard, unfortunately, they were out of stock where I was trying to purchase from, and reluctantly, I got talked into an MSI P6N Diamond board (figured...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145194 Hmm....that's not actually all that expensive..... *ponder*

slightly limiting my overclocking ability? I'm not all that concerned with that for the time being...I won't be doing any hard overclocking til I actually get the much better ram...plus I hear these things overclock up to 3.0GHz with hardly any effort at all. taking away from the extreme...

I'll have 4GB either way, what I'm asking is whether or not I'll be ok with 2 pairs of this... or if I should absolutely be looking at a single pair of 2GB sticks. Am I making sense? :p

Eh...that's a good point, but really, I can't afford a pair of 2GB sticks right now... Am I really hurting for the 2 single sticks over the 4 or am I going to be OK for now...?

Yeah, definitely going to stick with Vista now that I'm upgrading the system. It's the only OS I've ever owned a valid copy of :p I'd like to continue that trend...

Yeah, I'll probably just buy the same two sticks that I've got now. I actually bought these on accident about 2 months ago for my current setup...idk...I wasn't thinking... Another pair is only $58 so I'm probably going to double up on em. :cool:

Awesome! I'm freakin gitty excited about this...guess my true nerd qualities shine thru :p

Yeah, I'm definetly getting the bolt thru kit, but I actually found one that was made by Xigmatek... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233019 I think I'm going to go with that one...does that look ok? As of now, my final build looks something like this...

DAMN!!! Ok. I'm going with the Quad core again :D My MAIN purpose of this, is to get flawless WoW performance. I thought I was going to get that with the 9600GT, but it looks like my CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3500+) is the bottleneck once again....

Ok, so after some homework, it looks like I'm going with the dual core 3.0GHz over the quad core for now. Am I making a mistake or am I good for a year or two with the dual? Still open to last minute suggestions...:D

Oh - another thing I should have noted. I run multiple displays (Two - 1 22.1" and another 21" ...roughly the same, slightly smaller on the 2nd) Is there anything I should consider to help my graphics side of things, or is my 9600GT OK w/ the setup I'm going with?
