I'd kill to pay $60 USD for my games.

Standard price here is $80-90 although that does include tax, its still a micktake.

Dual 8800GTS 320MBs does not equal a single 8800GTS 640MB... the 320MBs would destroy a single 640MB. ;]

SLi = two video cards share the workload, but the memory does not add up so the dual 8800GTS 320MBs would still only have 320MBs of VRAM.

original msg 

how can it ''destroy'' it its the same GPU but with less RAM, they are pretty much the same in lower resolutions but at 2k x 2k and over that extra 320mb does make a difference

edit: missread your post you are right 2 xGTS 320 mb  destroys the 640 one

yeah i didnt ad any other coolers ,, i dont know much about computers, i just followed a guide a person

posted, which i went into bios, and changed a few settings,,,,

by the way i'm using a gigabyte 965p ds3 motherboard, i heard they are easy to oc,, perhaps thats the reason???

who knows lol im a noob too rofl but i do know that my 680i sli should be easy to OC too

thanks,, i just downloaded the program, it reads core 0 39C and core 1 is 39C ,, temp 1 is 47C, temp 2 is 37C and temp 3 is -2C

are these normal??

wtf see this guy oc'd up to 3.1 and his temps are a lot lower than mine at 2.4 and i bet he uses the stock cooler

most people can use stock cooling because they have good cases with good flow and a few fansimrlybord7

i have an antec super lanboy case....ambient temp is 28c as of now

hey , i just did a mild overclock on my core 2 duo e6400 processor, using stock fan i got it from 2.1 to 2,4...my pny pc2 5300 rams are running at 700 mhz. now the question is...are my temperatures correct?

core temp shows

tjuction 100C

core 0  63c

core 1  65c   all this while idle and not sure what all this means

but nvidia monitor shows

52c idle and 64c at full load

which one should i believe? can my proc be OC anymore? or should i tone it down..i live in ecuador and its pretty hot down here so not sure if that has anything to do with this

im at 1200 fsb andf multiplier is still 8x, no changes on V.

im thinking about getting a zalman heatsink/fan 9700 series would taht drop my temp asnd let me OC a bit more? im kinda bummed cuz i see procs like mine going for 0ver 3.0 ghz and i looks i cant take it over 2.4
