Playful God, I have the same deck in my storage unit. I had to down size for the room I'm in now so its a single glass desk for now.


Right now I'm banging with:

AMD FX-60 overclocked to 2.95 GHz, watercooled
Asus A8N-SLi
OCZ DDR400 2 gigs in dual channel running 2-3-2-5
SATA HD 300 & 500gig
Memorex DVD burner
Creative FX sound card
OCZ extreme gamer 600w PSU
Two BFG 7800gt oc's in SLi
LG 19" widescreen LCD 3000:1 contrast & 2ms
Philips MX 3660D surround sound system 5.1


I'm workin on my new PC now.

I have:

Intel Quad core Q6600 (SLACR edition)
EVGA 680I mobo
CoolerMaster Stacker 830 case

I still need:

Ram: Probably gonna go with Corsair XMS2 DDR2 1066 (2x 1gig) or something from OCZ
Video card: Geforce 8800 Not sure what size memory and I'm gonna wait anyways.


I plan on having the cpu (maybe mobo chipset) on one water system and the vid card/s on another.

Rrasco, you'll be wasting money getting 4 gigs. I've never seen a gamer or regular user's pc need 4 gigs. Stick with 2 gigs (2x 1gig) in dual channel mode.

I run 3GB at work and use every bit of it at times, and the only reason I want 4GB is because you can get 2 gigs of DDR2 for $70 now, so mainly just because I can.

I know that Vista 32-bit only reconizes 3.5 gigs. Just FYI

Well, I guess I will have to run 64-bit then, that is if I can find hardware that has supporting drivers.
