Building new gaming PC

For my 19" lcd, i can run things on high no problem. I'm saying it just may not be a bad idea to get the 4870x2 like you had planned at first.

I got all my parts in the mail today will update with some pictures tomorrow. I loooove this CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000!

I have one question though. I own a copy of Windows XP Professional (32bit) and wondered what benefit, if any, I get from XP 64bit? I am currently running on my 32bit install.

One of the fans on my Accelero Twin Turbo does not seem to spin. Iif I coax it along with a gentle nudge the fan starts spinning up. After a minute or two it just stops again. Earlier I noticed the fan was just wiggling in place.

Any ideas?

No ideas about the fan, email arctic cooling, i think they have good customr support. As for the OS question, stick with XP 32 bit, XP 64 bit is a pita. It will only help you see all 4gb of ram, but that's it ...

FYI XP-x64 is a mess. It's basically a bone MS threw to us when we all first got Athlon 64 processors and wanted something to run on them, it's not nearly as well supported as Vista x64. If you were to install Vista x64, you'd see all of 4GB instead of 3.25~, and you could upgrade to 8 at some point in the future.

I downloaded this app called RivaTuner that has options to setup fan speed profiles for your GPU. I cranked the fans to 75% and my 4780 is at 49C playing BioShock. Any good motherboard/fan chasis controll apps so I can raise the speed on my case fans?

This program seems a little complicated. I can't tell which fan is which! I also can't seem to figure out what variable represents fan RPM. This program says everything is at 100%
