I'm pretty sure I am not getting the best performance I could for games, but that's probably due to my card being AGP. I have to admit, while good performance in Games is nice, it's not a major point for me, as I tend to use the Xbox 360 for games anyway.

But, for DVD and Video work, it rocks. Nero was encoding a DVD at almost 400 frames a second!
Got mine on Saturday too, only I went el cheapo and bought the P4 D805 instead, runs superbly with my DDR1 and a 9600XT.

Not reinstalled windows yet, probably do that at the weekend.

Got the board and CPU for £110.00 minus delivery from Aria.

Zingle, I didn't get the cooler you recommended, budget couldn't stretch to it. The stock cooler pretty good, not checked the temps yet but it not too loud.
