true quad core

look for faster memory timings too, AMD is really sensitive to memory timings and start with a faster drive like a Raptor but if you want a really responsive drive, get a 15K Ultra 320 drive and card, its like night and day

that cpu and maybe the 8800 GT would be perfect for DODS and a few other recent generation games but you can forget about crysis, they tested a top end Intel with triple sli config and it still only got low fps at a large resolution, but for recent games that'll do fine, im sure cause i have an...

It will be very interesting seeing this next year for AMD.

you gotta ask yourself, do i really need that case if i will be watercooling, you could save yourself a buck and a half with something that will do just as good... it will be noisy even with those 120mm fans

first tell us what the specs are... laggy is too broad a issue to approach with any cold read

Q6600 read up on the steppings, i think the G0 is the better one...

it'll load RED ORCHESTRA maps faster :D - i love my Raptor 150 - it may be a nice as my 36Gb Ultra 320 SCSI 15k drive ....naaaaaah who am i kidding, i love my SCSI

if you can go dual or quad core with that socket, go for it. im hesitant on a recommendation cause i can't recall the latest intel socket that supports a Q6600 but if i had one that did, that would be where i'd start at, take the rest and date some chicks.... back to the subject, if you still...

i think the intel socket will be done by the end of next year and when Nahelem comes out there will be 2 or 3 different sockets for that architech and btw which will include IQP=AMD, HT and then the memory gap will have been closed... but the good thing is you will have the option of aHIGH-K...
