It'll sound better to you if it's cool.

Not according to Alan. But Fred will agree with you. See some other thread I am too lazy to link.

I believe Charles was making reference to that thread. Maybe you should go back to sleep.

Additional: Other than making stupid cross-thread references. In the next week or so, I'm going to be upgrading my dual, Quad-Core machine with 16 GB of 667 MHz DDR2, to a dual, Six-Core with 32 GB of 800 MHz DDR2 (ECC, Registered).

I'm excited. I got my Intel 160GB SSD in the mail today, and I just ordered my Antec P193 case. Next will be power supply, then optical drive, memory, motherboard, and video card. I'll need fresh advice on the last three when the time comes.

Chris, be sure to let us know how the upgrading goes.

I am leaning toward that one at this point.

Also, I got my Antec P193 case yesterday, as well as my optical drive. Not a Blu-ray drive, but I'll get one of those a little later. I love the case so far. We'll see if I still love it after I try to cram it full of the rest of the goodies. The huge fan on the side makes me chortle.

I haven't looked at Asus boards for a while, but doing a little research, that's the one to get. The only reason I don't go with Asus, it they make excellent gamer boards, with some of the safest, and most tweakable over-clocking features. I don't game (on the PC), and I don't over-clock. Plus I want more work-station class features like SAS, and FireWire. Were it not for that Asus would be at the top of my list.

I'm doing more gaming on my PC, but I seem to be able to run the games I'm playing at this monitor's full resolution (1920x1200) with full detail at acceptable frame rates on my current computer. It's got a Radeon HD 4850, which certainly isn't top-of-the-line. I figure I'll stay in the middle of the road as far as video card. I'm thinking I'll go with a 5770 for my new build, for the DirectX 11 support as well as HD audio over HDMI. If physics processing starts meaning more, maybe I'll go back to Nvidia at some point.

Feels strange to pair an AMD GPU wtih an Intel CPU, but nVidia has lagged behind in the DX11, and HDMI audio support. If I were building a computer today I wouldn't go without either. -- But I also always use AMD CPUs.
