hehe, make that good for over 285fsb running 1:1 Superpi stabil right out of the box, all on air cooling. 
AM2 or X2? AMD in any case.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I'm seriously leaning towards the smaller package.
I don't care much for the V600 as far as Lian-Li's go, too Mac-like for my tastes.

LOL, contrary to popular belief, Apple did not invent the aluminum computer case.
Why not get it? Its stronger, and its one huge heatsink. Aluminum just looks slick. Besides, the other case looks like another alien ware nock off... or is it?

I have a SilverStone TJ6, all aluminum tool-less case. Very cool looking and very rugged. About the strongest (and heavest) case I`ve had. But, not exactly small.
In case a dual core not enough, maybe a 16 core PSC unit would be better....
Hannover (Germany) - Dual-core is as good as it gets these days and even if you stretch a bit, a workstation with four physical cores typically is the limit even for enthusiasts. Tyan, however, demonstrates a solution that delivers an extra punch of performance: The "Personal Super Computer" (PSC) can hold up to eight Opteron or Pentium D CPUs for a total of 16 physical cores.

The TJ06 is an awesome case! It has the inverted mobo and partitioned spaces that are becoming very popular in top-rated enclosures. Definately has the room for *extras*. Makes me want to buy a V1000
I would still place RAID cage in the 3x5.25 space and use the 6xHDD partition for something special

And for those who may have missed it, the new nVidia GPU's were released last Friday 3/9:

Gigabyte also released a quad SLI mobo, that's CRAZY man!

That looks nice, except for the power supply sucking the dust bunnies off the floor, I like the air flow layout they have.Twrecks said:
16 cores?
such a waste.
even now there are very few programs out there that take advantage of dual core CPUs.
am i saying dont buy dual core? no. since you still get a small boost of speed with it. and you are already set up for when games/apps come out that fully support it.
SLI on the other hand...

For the average user it would be a waiste, but for someone like T that`s doing CAD work, or movie editing or sound studio recording....oh-who am I kinding...yeah 16 cores is just wack!!
Speaking of wack, Intel just stepped on it`s dick, again!!

yeah, dual core CPUs are basicly a neccesity for things like what you said, but for the average joe? it just turns into spent more money.
but i still recomend buying one and a Mobo that supports SLI. even though SLI is more of a waste right now, later down the road there will be a BIOS update that utilizes the full potential.
still 16 cores? no more than 4 would be needed for todays apps. but even thats overkill.

It won`t be a BIOS update, the BIOS already reconizes and is taking advatage of SLI and dual cores, it`ll be when drivers, apps and games are writtin with special code that will utilize them 100% that we`re waiting for.....
don`t hold your breath either!!
July or so the new DirectX10 cards will be out. Hope they have better performance increase then the 7900s do over the 7800s.

7900'S were just a die shrinked 7800, abliet lower price due to higher yields per wafer and the subsequent reduction in heat while running allowing for a tad higher base clack speed.
When Vista is released this fall, the "pro" version will utilize dual core. Applications such as Photoshop and 3dsmax already will take advantage of dual core/dual cpu. I typically will have Solidworks(CAD), Photoshop, Max and Ued open all at the same time, any of which can bring a rig to it's knees on their own.
Just saw this baby, looks sweet, only I won't have a rear exhaust fan if I get the PC3077
Freezone CPU cooler

This is interesting use of SLI, looks kick ass and would be just a driver update!!

Ageia is partnered with Epic in developing UT2007's physics engine. A dedicated card is already up their sleeve.
Please let us know the interface so we leave a slot open :tup:

NVidia`s solution you won`t need an extra card, the instructions will be performed by the second SLI GPU, they even said it would still work with a single card...though I would imagine with a performance hit of course.
AM2 doesn`t look like any kind of performance increase over what we have right now. Think I`ll wait for DDR3 support.
