Whoops, Newegg filtered it as 240 pin ram... guess I'll look for a diff. set. Thanks for pointing that out lol.

other than that it seems to be fairly good. me, i'm doing the conroe (as of now, subject to change) too, but am waiting for the rd600 to release and i'll go from there. i mite bump up to the e6700 though. meh, i've got $200 lying around. what vid crd u gonna be running?

**silent h3ro** · 08-06-2006, 11:37 PM

6600gt is my vid card (bottleneck lol), and what is the rd600? Is the e6700 the 2.6 ghz cpu? I chose my e6600 mainly becase of the increased l2 cache. Btw if you have extra money and are planing an SLI setup look at the 720w OCZ psu (if u dont already have a psu). I'm waiting till Christmas (yay Christmas) till I can hopefully get my new fuckn vid card.

no, i'm not going sli. i'm going crossfire. rd600 is ati's new chipset cummin' out for lga775. yeah, i've had my eye on that psu also, but i mite be getting a kilowatt psu instead.

**silent h3ro** · 08-07-2006, 12:19 AM

Will you really need a kilowatt? What mobo are you looking to get, i hear Intel is comming out with a new one for the 775 socket.

I'm thinking about getting two of these.
