    I chose 4 GB, because everyone was telling me that's what was needed for Vista. I'm not saying your wrong here, only that it goes against everything and anything that I've looked into haha. I rather stick with mainstream branded RAM, simply because I wouldn't know what I was looking for in a...

    What are you suggesting I hold back on? I'm very open to ideas. I figured I was building a bit on the conservative side already. At the end of the day, a E6850 cost about 15 more the a Q6600 over here in AUS. My entire system purchase is as follows: EVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS PCI-E 320MB...

    Thanks for all your help =) Apparently the temperature ratio's I was worried about were a little exagerated. The peaks of 38-41 only occur mid day, and not to often. Most of the day time temperature (when I'm at work anyway) is at high of 35 degrees. I won't be running my PC then anyway...

    What was your full load temperatures? If you're idling at 38, 32, and we assume a 1:2 ratio in room temperature... that means I'd be idling at 58, 52 correct? I couldn't guess what it would be around at full load until I finally made the connection with the below post: So essentially at full...

    This flew completly over my head. I think the summary is that I should be fine running a Q6600 at 3.2ghz, with Air cooling and a Thermalright SI-120? I won't have to constantly monitor the temps, or worry? I don't mind a bit of upkeep, but I don't want to lose sleep over it either haha...

    Hey there again...sorry for the double post. I was looking at prices and it struck me. Why don't I just get a Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, 3.00GHz? I know that it has two less cores, but I really only do gaming on my PC and from what I understand, not many games take advantage of quad cores...

    I've asked around, and it seems like the average indoor temperatures where I live will probably sit about 4-5 degrees cooler then the highs. Basically only about 6 days throughout the year does it sit at 41 degrees. Otherwise it averages 35-38. So looking at 30-33 room temperatures. I...

    Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a jam. I'm what you'd call a half informed PC enthusiast. I know enough to build a system, but not enough to answer or judge some harder questions. I currently live in Brisbane, Australia. It's hot here during the summer (38 to 41 degree highs), at least...
