New cooler installed: Noctua NH-U12F!

Indeed we do ;). Noctua is also releasing a NH-U12F Extreme (sometime soon, they've had it since June '06), with an extra 2 heatpipes (much like the Ultra 120 Extreme) which should compete quite nicely with the Ultra 120/Tuniq Tower (perhaps not the Ultra 120 Extreme, the NH-U12F is a few...

8800GTS in secondary 16x PCI-E slot

Hmm, i remember reading a review on the ASUS P5N-E SLI (nForce 650i) where they ran 2 8800GTX's in SLI (both running 8x PCIe) and had a 0% performance loss (compared to 8800GTX SLI on the 680i). So in short (if this review is to be believed), no....you shouldn't see any performance loss using...

Core 2 Duo E4300 Benchmark - fresh and hot

Yep, unless i'm mistaken, both the E6300 and E6400 are Conroes with up to half the L2 cache failed. These new E4X00s are the 'real' Allendales, much cheaper for Intel to produce and thus (best of all) cheaper for us. Hopefully we'll see some good overclocking results (i'm also interested in...

Best air cooler for socket 775lga

The best air cooler, if there's such a thing, would have to be the Tuniq Tower 120; performance wise, i know of nothing better. There's also the Thermalright Ultra-120, Noctua NH-U12F, Scythe Ninja/Infinity/Mine, Zalman 9500/9700, Thermaltake Big Typhoon and Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Check...

Try using either Intel Thermal Analysis Tool or Core Temp. They're the programs most people are (or at least should) be using. Then mention the temps you've seen with one of them (they should both give the same temperature, so it doesn't matter which one you use), people will be able to tell you...

It can't be 1280x1024, 19" and have a .264 pixel pitch at the same time; i'm guessing it's a misprint (that 6 is supposed to be a 9).

GeForce 7900GS vs. X1950 Pro

If you're considering overclocking, i'd have to say the 7900GS is the better buy, being $50 cheaper. If you're not considering overclocking (or only light overclocking), however, the x1950Pro is the better buy (the 7900GS at stock isn't enough of an upgrade over a 7800GT to be worth it, really)...

P5B with E6300@7x400 won't let me use Memory@667

A quick TFT Central search turned up "ViewSonic VX2035WM 5ms 20"WS TN Film". If that's anything to go by, not likely to be as good as the VX2025WM, but ought to be a fair bit cheaper.

Nope, the ST50EF-Plus is the same as the Enhance, the ST50EF (non-plus) is a different PSU all together. That, and the Silverstone has sleeved cables (mostly), which is worth a little more to some.

What Video Card Do You Reccomend?

If you're not overclocking, the X1950Pro is perfect. If you plan on overclocking, i'd recommend the 7900GS (if it's a bit cheaper than the x1950pro). Either would work fine in your motherboard.

A spell checker similar to MS Word's is the biggest selling point to me, but i also like the "Undo close tab" thing; where if you close a tab you need, just right click on any of the tabs, and click "Undo close tab", it brings it right back (in the same spot it was originally, too).

Depends on what you're looking to do. For a stock Core 2 Duo system, you'll need 533Mhz DDR2 (266Mhz FSB 1:1 with RAM). If you're looking to overclock, you'll need RAM which runs at whatever FSB you're looking for, in which case more expensive memory is necessary (though a lot of value RAM will...

Need 450+ Watts power Supply with 30A on 12V rail

Just a quick note to the OP, when manufacturers state 'you need 30A on the 12v rail', this can be 30A (or more) on a single rail, or 30A over a number of 12v rails (ie 12V1 = 18A, 12V2 = 18A, Max Combined on 12V = 32A, etc.). This confuses most people, because they see that they need at least...

Help! New budget Conroe OC upgrade

Some PC2-6400 RAM will go to and beyond PC2-7200, so if you pick the right kit, you'll be fine. AFAIK most (if not all) C2D mobos don't support a divider less than 1:1 (i might be wrong, i have only read up on a few C2D motherboards), so not running ram 1:1 mightn't be an issue. Look for G.Skill...

What sort of system needs powering? Quad SLI? High end Crossfire perhaps? If not, a good 400-500W will more than likely suffice. If you give us the specs of the system that the PSU will need to power, we can tell you for sure.
