I am planning to do the same, but have a quick question: Did dyou manage to over-clock your Q9550? Or running at stock FSB = 333 (which is still pretty decent compared to my E6420, but that one is overclocked to 400fsb :) )

You know what, the PC to TV discussion just gave me an idea, just without the TV :)
I can just buy the wireless controller and put a couch instead of chair at my PC desk, that would give me the best of both worlds, with 24" monitor, not bad at all
Thanks for the suggestions.
What do you guys...
I downloaded Batman: AA demo PC version, and suddenly I became a graphics wh*re
That game is GORGEOUS, playing at 1920x1200 on 24 inch monitor.. WOW. Gameplay and suspense/predator mode is really cool.
BUT, I am also itching to buy PS3 slim after the price drop.
Should I get it for PC...
I have a 17" Sony CRT that I love, but now is time to try new technologies and large sizes.
What is best for mostly gaming (plus excel, word, surfing ...etc.)?
I play FPS and strategy stuff, plus some RPG (Fallout 3 ...etc.).
I alos need to buy it from store if possible, not online and...
I tell you I cannot play for mor than 10 mins.
Rarely happens to me (I play BF2 and Unreal 2004/UT3 all the time for HOURS), but COD4 is just making me feel soo sick, I cannot even look at screen after 10 mins.
I like the game, but I cannot play it b/c of this.
Any solution?
Anyone got...

I installed the Xpress Recovery 2 utility, and I see the F key in the initil screen, but when I press it (F7 I think?) it says need to install Xpress Rec 2, and when I do it again, it says 'CAN NOT WRITE TO DISK, not enough space or soemthing??)
I am using signle hard disk SATA (but not on...
Mine also would say 'Recovering BIOS from, Harddisk...' or something like that, but it never does anything at all.
It never find a BIOS in HD.
This is during bad OC.
I also have the same problem. (Console games are MUCH worse, I guess due to screen size, TV refresh rate??).
In the PC I get mixed experiences (I have CRT 17" Sony excellent monitor):
Quake 4 makes me so sick, I cannot play it for more than 10 mins.
UT2004 was fine. I play it for hours no...
I asked that question before :)
The reason is: Resolution.
TV sets usually do not support higher than 1024x768, while even crappier LCD monitors support 1680x1050.
Even 1080p TV sets are not optimized for PC, so ghosting ...etc. would kill it. Text would appear really bad too, even with...
Cannot find that utility in their website at all.
I am using DS3 v3.3 mobo.
Anyone can supply link?

Thanks a lot in advance.
I just got the exact same combination (ds3 + 6420)
My ram is Geil 6400
I am still waiting on my video card (arrives tomorrow), so we will see how it goes.
I hope I can help you when I start (and you help me if I got stuck :) )
Can I just use the stock heat sink for my 6420 with the 'stock' thermal paste that comes with the retail processor?
am planning to overclock a little (maybe up to 3GHz) so I am not looking for crazy overclock.
I would rather save the AS5 money if it is not that much needed.
(By Th Way...
I hear a LOT of complains about:
- cold boot
- no-sticky overclocks (resets back).
Now, I am asking, who is SATISFIED with this board?
The newegg review (the latest ones at least in the last couple of months) are mostly POSITIVE.
Should I just return it and forget about it? Or I have a...
