whew!~ i was worried for a sec there.. I can't believe that whenever it comes to a upgrade/build, i'm instantly transformed into some novice who can't tell the difference between the mobo and a memory dimm.
one question though.. the lga775 socket cpu-cover, is it suppose to require a little bit of force to lock the lever into place under the tab? ...the proc wasn't cheap.. =P.. I love the pin-less design..
good idea, i'll look into that after my pockets recover a little bit.. that d--- proc, if it only didn't carry the intel price tag but for 1ghz overclock, i shouldn't complain too much.
yea, that game still holds up to this day very nicely actually.
So what am I saying? Don't get cocky hermits. You might be eating them sooner than you think. Seriously, be careful, especially considering you guys think consoles can't do anything. Last generation you were wrong. Who's to say you're right this time?
one thing you might want to consider checking.. some mb's PCI express slot is 16x.. the fine print is that it's only 16x with one card. when you sli two cards together, it might have switched back to 8x for both slots, which is why i'm changing my MB..
moving currrent hardware: a pair of 8800gt's, 4 gb of some cheap stuff i found @1066mhz, have 650W psu; basically the gaming essentials.. will wait on the hdd until i need the space.. i'm looking into a cheetah drive.
once a dedicated amd fan, i've finally sold-out and picked up an intel c2d q9450 due to ease of over-clocking and performance. I'm switch from a phenom 9500.. Intel fanboys, what motherboard should i get for this?
