not many people around here that run these rigs yet. i almost built one but decided against it. keep us posted on how it runs... im sure a few people in here can give you advice on this system. i personaly am still keeping my eye on this platform to see how it performs? one thing for sure dude get some cooling cause they do run hott no doubt about that!

if its some 550J or 560J, they should do well, but 550 and 560 will be a more hot.

The J means E0 stepping....

How much is DDR2 price? I'm asking because DDR I is butt expensive now. I'm thinkging of going LGA now because if DDR2 cost the same as DDRI, I'm going for DDRII.

well i have herd and seen that inyel are droping the prices on the 23/8/04 which is today but dont know how long that will filter to the sellers, I just notied you can only get a ATI x600 pci card which is the same speed as a 9600 pro thats abit crap not many cards to get.

but ATI and Nvidia are releasing the ati x700 ehich is as good or not better than the 9800xt and nvidia are rel the 6600 pci version this month so i am going to have to wait again.

getting sick of wating for stuff to come out its onlt the cpu and graphics card holding me back

juts need the 2.6 to drop to £230 to £200 which is about $400 which i have read thats is going to drop to

dont know weather to get crsair or cruial memory ????
