Did find some stuff I need to improve because this
2 gigs of ram is not enough for Vista, I was wondering why my load times took so long

Ben_Brown got me curious about my power consumption, I got brave and put my power meter on.
Idle was 530W for Trifire
Peak was 803W and that was 3465MHz

If work is slow I hope to replace some the heatpipe cooling crap

It will take a couple of weeks to fix things up

You have a chance to get there first
Good luck

and they say you only need 1000 watt lol

this why I got 1200 watt PS.
