Great game, 70 hours of play and I've only had 2 crashes. Not a big problem if you ask me.

Seasonic M12-II 430w PSU by the way, rest of the specs are in sig.

Okay so this morning I turned on my PC to find that pesky "NTLDR is missing" error. Puzzled, I restarted it a few times and the same thing happened. I decided to open up my case to make sure the SATA cables were plugged in correctly. While I was fiddling around in there, I noticed my fingers...

How do you like it? I've got the X38 LT and I'm really happy with it, glad I decided not to go with Asus this time.

If you intend to overclock you'll probably want the Q6600. I like my Q9300.

Lol, what he said.

I would take the TN. I've got a Samsung 22" TN and was worried I wouldn't like it at first but I ended up loving it despite all the bad things I hear about TN panels. The only thing I don't like is the backlight bleed, but it's only noticeable on a completely black screen.

I lol'd. OMG what are we all doing with DDR2 it's totally dead now that DDR3 is out!!!1111oneone

Very High plays the about the same, but I don't have Vista so I had to tweak those files to get it to work like that. And yeah I guess I forgot to mention I'm playing at 1680x1050, but even with 2x AA I find it quite playable at High/Very High on XP. I guess it's because my monitor isn't as...

Crysis plays fine on the rig in the sig at all High and 2x AA. Noticably choppy here and there, but nowhere near unplayable. So what's the deal with all this I hear about Crysis bringing the latest hardware "to its knees"?

I like my Q9300!

My 8800GTS 512 was awesome for $250, still waiting on that $20 rebate but even if I don't get it it was worth it. Crysis is very playable all High 2x AA at 1680x1050 with this thing.

If you're willing to spend a bit more you could go with one of the new 45nm processors. E7200, E8200, or E8400. They are probably a little overkill if you don't plan to do anything processor-intensive, but at least you'll know your computer will be blazing fast for the next few years. :)

When mine went in it did not feel very secure. It doesn't "snap into place" as you might expect. As long as you can stand it up and it doesn't fall off if you shake your desk it should be good to go. Yes it will be a little wobbly but I guess thats what we get for not going for a more...

I have a DFI X38 and Q9300. Have not really tried to push it very far, but I think you will be very satisfied, this board was definitely made for overclockers. Any limitations you run into would probably be due to the chipset or processor.
