Will an Antec true 430 support the 8800 gtx?

It's definitely capable of running the system during stressful situations. The only thing I might be worried about is when booting up. I think it should work fine, however.

Reliability of 6800 series and modern cards in general

6800nu running with stock cooling, unlocked and overclocked. Running beautifully after almost 2 years. I also still have a TNT2 that is used on a daily basis for old school gaming. 7 years? Not bad I guess.

3200+ stock cooling question

Sure, they're safe temps, but my OC'd 3000+ doesn't see above 38 degrees. I'm going to hazard a guess as to that you have a bad temp diode. It's relatively common.

Upgrade to Z-5500s from X-530s?

I'd say buy them. I went from the Z-640's to them, and DAMN. I was blown away.

GHOST RECON AW DEMO IS OUT!

Ah, but it's a different game my friend. It was done by a totally different studio. It's the same concept, but the levels and things are totally different from what I've heard. It's also entirely first person.

Been using McAfee Antivirus for the past few years. Haven't had a single issue so I'm sticking with them until I do.

Yes they do, my friend. Click on one of the bars and you get the full specs of the system used in that benchmark, including drivers.

Bleh, I think the FEAR benchmarks were run with Softshadows on because they're really low. Who the hell plays with that on?

O'cing potential of a 3000+ (Venice) vs a 3000+ (Newcastle) vs a 3200+ (Venice)

Venice for sure. My 3000+ (E6) can push 2.6 on stock voltage and fan. I don't see the need to run at that all of the time seeing how my video card is a bit of a bottleneck.

UT2004 -> UT2007 cheapest video card that will do the job?

I was reading in an interview with CliffyB sometime ago and I think I recall him saying that the minumum GPU would probably be around a 6600 GT. Keep in mind that's probably the BARE minimum.

I don't know the specifics of that card as it's fairly new, but I think it's safe to say that yes, that's pretty toasty.

COD2 and a 6600gt

I run CoD2 in DX7. It does take a significant image quality hit, but I can't stand aliasing. Plus, I'm more impressed by the games audio than video.

Are these temps correct?

Are you sure that's not fahrenheit? 'Cause that would make sense if it was. If you were running at that temp, I think you'd be having some serious issues. And it's not uncommon to just have a dud of a temp. sensor.

Which cpu would be better suited for my configuration....A64 3000+ (Venice) or Sempron 64 3400+ (Palermo)?

I say go for the 3000+. I'm not sure if things are the same with socket 754, but it's not uncommon to overclock them to 2.8ghz or so.

6800GT dying.. replace with 7800GS? or 6800GS? or help?

I personally don't thing the 7800 is worth the exta money, unless you can find a good deal on one. And plus, you can always unlock and OC the 6800.

Asrock dual939 or Biostar 6100?

If you're handy with a soldering iron I think you can easily volt mod the AsRock. Anyways. I have nothing but praise for the AsRock. OCs fairly well even at stock.

I still have a Ti4200 in my "old" P4 2.8 machine. Plays CSS, HL2, UT2004 and Guild Wars among others marvelously. Best money I've ever spent on a graphics card - bar none.

I'd say you can't go wrong with a 6600 GT - assuming the rest of his system is up to par.

Faulty A64 Temperature Sensor?

My ambient temp is a cool 20C. According to Everest the fan hovers around 3200 RPM most of the time.

Faulty A64 Temperature Sensor?

I've got a Venice 3000+ (E6) at the settings below. It will idle at around 36C and under load it only raises by about 2 or 3 degrees. As a little test I unplugged the CPU fan (I know it doesn't sound like a good idea) and went into the BIOS and the temp slowly rose up to about 45C at which...

4400+ or 4800+

If price wasn't an issue obviously I'd go for the 4800+, but reasonably I think I'd be just as satisfied with the 4400+. Especially once you overclock the crap out of it.

6800gs AGP? or wait for the 7800gs AGP?

Personally I'd save the dough, get the 6800 and save towards a PCIe mobo.
