I built my computer a little over 3 years ago and it has been my main rig since then. Recently my motherboard went out on me so I decided it was a decent time to upgrade to multi-core. After shopping around some I purchased the following: AMD X2 5800+ and 4GB (2x2GB) G.Skill DDR2 1066 So...

are they universal? There isnt a lot of clearance between the chipset and the pci-e slot and i'm just concerned with buying one I cant use.

I have an Ultra-D and my chipset fan has been weirding out for 3 days now. It acts like it can not hold a constant speed. Seems like its not getting a consistant line of power. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions for a replacement? Thanks.

I have a 3500+ E4..no complaints at all..it's at 2.6ghz right now on stock cooling. Waiting for the xp-90 to get here. I have it coupled with a DFI lanparty nf4 motherboard, evga 7800gt and 2gb of gskill val ram. I play mostly fps and wow and I have had no problems with any of the games i play...

I was going to go the route of 2x512 crucial ballistix, but for $20 more I figured the G.Skill would be a much better buy. I have it running with a 5:6 divider right now with 250htt so its at ~210 + 3-4-4-8. I felt like the money saved on the value ram would be put to good use on a more powerful...

sry bona I didn't see that.

Both of those helped out a lot. Thanks

Theoretically you would have 2 cores of the same speed as an FX-55, but very few programs make use of dual core now and in my opinion it would be better to wait for prices to come down.

By the time prices come down from the stratosphere it'll be around this time next year probably. As for initial release, Probably summer '06.

I agree. I would either SLI now or just get one card and get a new card when you plan to upgrade. Technology will continue to become more advanced and SLI doesn't cover that area of performance.

I do not believe you can charge for paypal charges

At little bit too much $$ for my taste. I mean you could build a whole computer for that cpu/mobo combo. However if you are willing to spend that, it is a great setup and you should not be dissapointed. Make sure you go to dfi-street and check out their recommendations for Expert PSU's.
