oh my bad..lol....it took a total of few hours to build it and get into windows

early january

well......what clock/memory speed does the 7800gtx run at ? ....my 7800gt stock runs at 470/1100 - which is equivelent of some gtx versions - is gtx a 512mb card ?

my cpu score is also 797 - very very low for its class ! - again, i dont know what kind of impact another gig of ram would have

amd athlon 64bit 3700+ running at 2.2 - my system is as optimized as it gets (...o/c in future)....i am not quite sure if running 2 gigs of ram, instead of a gig of ram I run is gonna affect 3dmark06 score that much - that is a big difference !

not that it really matters - after all this is only syntetic benchmarking - it doesnt show real life performance.....

...i just dont understand - comparing my score with other peoples scores i should be up in the 7k range, not 4k - ....its wierd

are you aware there is a formula that will approximatelly tell you how hot/cold it will run under load ?

I gotta score of 4223 - suprisingly low actually - ...im gonna retest later this night It really does not make sense because my 7800gt runs stock at 470/1100 - i will have to retest tonight with 520/1250 - i choose a resolution of 1024-768 - i dont know if that can affect the score - i gotta see whatsup

DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR AMD Athlon 64 3700 @ 2.2Ghz @ 11 x 200Mhz (E4 Stepping) 2 x 512MB OCZ EL Platinum Rev.2 @ 2-2-2-5 @ 2.72V (tccd) eVGA 7800GT PCIx16 @ 470/1100 2 x Hitachi Deskstar 7K80 SATA - nVRAID 0 1 x Western digital 300Gb OCZ PowerStream 520W Antec Performance P160 + 2 x 120mm Panaflo M1A Thermalright Xp-90 + 90mm Panaflo m1A

i have a pretty good idea

overclock it enough to actually be worth the 50 bux he is gonna spend on a motherboard ? ....i dont believe so

btw - what are your expectations of the water cooling system ? what kind of temps ?

u can really resize that image to a normal size

i vouch for newegg

its not even worth wasting the money on that processor - ...save for an upgrade - new motherboard will not show u a "worth the money" increase in performance

do you have aim ? contact me: disturbed6dws

I would suggest making 4-5 different partitions....maybe one for games, one for music, one for backups and so on...you get the idea

http://www.sysresccd.org/download.en.php I use this software - it is free....just burn the image to a CD and boot from a CD - it is very easy to use and you shouldnt have problems

no...you do not need to reformat if you partition your hard drive...but you do, however need to format the new partitions, most likely ntfs for your everyday needs - your windows install wont be affected

well...if that might be the issue - your best solution is to partition the hard drive into several partitions and make it easier for yourself

no idea.....u would probably have to check with your school...

.....also, what version of windows are you running

http://www.pcnineoneone.com/howto/biosflash1.html this is a guide to flashing bios ..... btw, what motherboard do you have ? it is kind of wierd that it will not show you the entire capacity of the hard drive as its supposed to be - most newer motherboards will not do that....

oh...nvm...didnt pay attention to it being a sata hard drive...my bad !!!!!!
