I OCed to 3GHz (333x9) but the computer isn't stable. I think I need to increase the Vcore & I don't want to do that (3DMark06 crashed in the 2nd test BSOD).

Keyboard isn't very good. HP Compaq Multimedia Keyboard (I've got this with my old Pentium 4 ). Thinking to change it to a Logitech Keyboard.

yea increasing the voltage would stablize it most likely but i dont think it would be worth it just for 300mhz..

Could be memory timings too, I could get my Athlon 4000+ over 2.8, then I adjusted the timings and I can hit 3.0 with ease.

It's very good and you should run everything really well for a while. However, it's far from the best considering there are faster CPU's out there, and you can have 2 or more graphics cards running in SLI or Crossfire nowadays.

Nice rig. You probably out do mine cause mine is a 3800+ dual. I know your video card out does mine. I only have a 8600 gt xxx 256mb. Also I only have 300 and some odd gig hard drive.

I my self have a nice rig but the complaint I have is that the case is to small for everything to fit in and I can't get another one not until my warrenty is up like in 2 or 3 more years.

Are using Vista ?

If you are using Vista, your CPU score is ~4.8 or 4.8 ? (Vista Rating)

Thank you

I know its not the best website but whatever. An overclocked E2160 for $80 competes very well with the E6750 at stock.

Since you overclock i think a Q6600 would have served you very well.

And dont worry about your GPU.It's still a beast.

Cuz they have a native resolution which i really dont like since that takes away the freedom of playing games in lower resolutions.With a LCD your PC will not last very long until you will have to upgrade.
