As for RAM speed, i know what you mean, my bottleneck is my RAM Need some DDR2-800

Something cant be right as you said, I just run Aquamark and topped out at 92,852.

<my bad>
by upgrading the memory, I meant to 900mhz RAM, not to 4gb (sorry).

I have had a PC from Mesh before (the current one), an Athlon 1800+ that I have had for nearly 5 years now, and it is starting to creak.

It is mainly for games, with surfing and occasionally watching DVD's (rather watch them on big-screen).

I will look at overclockers, thanks.

Thanks for all the comments, guys.

Sweet. Waiting for AMD to bring out a new dual core jobbo. Then no doubt whole system will need upgrading as i won't be able to use the 6600 any more (it's AGP) and quite how i'm going to manage the 3xPCI cards (TV, wireless, and sound) I dunno.

As for motion sick... well i've never been motion sick not even on ships/planes or theme parks etc etc. in fact i've not been sick since i was about 11

Oddly, i now seem to have a system thats too up to date to run any of the Linux distros i have... All fail on CDROM or SATA drivers No fair!

oh what a shame

But the mobos sata controller is native isnt it? It was on the DS4 so bios just treats them as such(they are seen as standard ide)? so your saying linux cant even cope with that? The rom drive I can understand as these intel chipsets dont support the ide contoller properly.If it wasnt for the conroe being such a nice cpu id still totally hate Intel. Roll on AMD quad core and a nice nforce or ATI chipset

Fair enough, rather miffed now though

I'll find a distro that works... Sometime... Hopefully soon

prob just needs the next build to work with controllers.Funny windows works
