dual-core or single-core?

If your going to be overclocking I suggest getting an amd64 3700+ or 4000+ sd, or and opty 170. Those chips will give you the best bang for your buck overclocked. Personally, I think that unless you do heavy multitasking and have alot of money to spend on a cpu then its right to go for a dual...

Nvidia Discontinuing the 7800's ??

I agree with Twsmit, there would be a big gap between the 7600gt and the 7900gt. I thought that the purpose for the release of the g71 was to round out the whole line, which it did. but since nvidia is moving to the .90nm process, it does look like the g70s are on the way out.

Nvidia Discontinuing the 7800's ??

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=29799 I'm not sure if this article has been posted before. Take it with a grain of salt if you will. If this is true, that would mean the 7800gt had a shelf life of less than a year (correct me if I'm wrong). Skepticism or not, it makes me reconsider...

For those of you who still have a 7800gt

Your 7800gtx should be more then enought for bf2! My oc'ed 7800gt will run anywhere between 85 - 100fps on max settings.

For those of you who still have a 7800gt

Why is the SLI option losing the in poll? I'm assuming that those of you who had a 7800gt went sli right away? I just bought my xfx7800gt a month ago, so I can't step-up with evga =( I can't believe how good the 7900gt overclocks...

Seagate 200GB Barracuda 7200.9 vs Western Digital 200GB Caviar SE

I was looking into a Samsung 200GB SpinPoint P120, but I don't want to take a performance hit. From the reviews I've seen these drives seem to be the quietest of the 200gb sata's. How do you enable AAM?

Seagate 200GB Barracuda 7200.9 vs Western Digital 200GB Caviar SE

Hey guys, I'm so sick of of my Maxtor 200GB DiamondMax 10 SATA drive. I can hear it above all the other fans in my case. Does anyone have any of these drives? How loud are they (seek noise)? Can anyone recommend a good 200gb, quiet drive? Its for an SATA setup.

Can someone explain to me what IQ and IRQ are?

I'm computer science IRQ stands for interrupt request, calling an interrupt in hardware will cause the cpu to hault its current process (also save its state) and execute the interrupt handler.

Rate My First OC 3700+ @2860mhz

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll run Prime95 over night tonight and see how that goes. Just to make sure it passes the overnight test, I'll set my cpu voltage at 1.5125 and ddr voltage at 2.7 (resonable?). So you guys wouldn't suggest droping the multi to 10, and trying to increase my cpu freq?

a8n-sli premium Overclocking BIOS 1011

Ok thanks so much for clearing that up! I thought the memclock index was what the memory frequency was running at, so I thought I was actually under runing my pc4000 at 200mhz, rather then 250mhz. Thanks! that's clears up everything for me!

a8n-sli premium Overclocking BIOS 1011

Ok just a quick update: I set my cpu freq to 255mhz, then I set my memory freq to manual, BUT in the bios it says memclock freq as 200mhz. I left this alone and ran memtest, it says that my ram is set to 255mhz?????? Why does the bios say it was at 200 and memtest says its 255? I think this...
