but cohen said "no matter what" the guy will have to do a new OS install. I have swapped mobos with no problems and just installed new mobo drivers. I have also had to repair windows upon new mobo installs. the fact is that sometimes you have to do a new OS install and sometimes you do not.

I get the same impression of the game. I borrowed a copy from a friend and played it for 20 minutes after doing the video stress test. I gave back the copy and don't have any desire to play.

why is that?

if you want it to look really nice, paint it like a car would be painted.

i just use GIMP since it's free

I built one for a friend to use MS Office with and it works great. Not sure what it will do with gaming, though.

it's a bandaid. if there is an underlying problem, fix it the right way.

dang you bumped a 4 yr old post, but it seems useful

looks good. if you are using a raidmax PSU I would seriously reconsider getting a high quality PSU as an insurance policy for your nice setup.

if you have the version of XP that the key is intended for, then yes it will work. you just might get lucky and not have to do a reinstall of the OS. or perhaps be able to do a repair.

yes it will have it on the heatsink as pictured above. I would recommend buying some if you don't have any laying around, though. You never know when you will have to yank the cooler off to do something.

have you logged the temps on everything while you play? I'm still a noob to this kind of stuff so I'm not sure exactly what all we can check. Also, are these the newest drivers? Does it happen if you run one card instead of two? have you tried each card by itself to see if the problem...

I run mine at 460X9 (4.14 GHz) 24/7 with no problems. I do so at 1.375 vcore in the BIOS and my idle temps around around 27 degrees celsius. At full tilt It gets in the high 40's and touches 50 every now and then.

what cooler is that? what kind of OCing can you do with that setup? I have a pic of my Big Typhoon in my case somewhere but I can't find it. I think it's on another computer.

spend 200-300 on parts to build a new computer.

prices of current stuff will always decrease as the new stuff will come out eventually at higher prices.

I would like to know as well. I play Counter Strike: Source and my ping is ok most of the time. But sometimes (I'm not downloading anything at these times) it goes from 40-50 to around 400-500.

I like FF3 since I can run it from my flash drive on the computers at school (they only have IE) but I use Chrome on my personal computers.

I have it and can't tell a difference. Not sure if that is good or bad.

8400 can be had for around 160ish shipped on newegg from what i can remember.
