Hello all,
I just decided to pick up a Reeven Justice based upon the [H] review. My Haswell seems to be happy going up to 4.3 on the stock cooler using the Asus software that came with the Z97-AR (which was impressive actually).
My concern is the weight over the longterm. It will be mounted in...
Which 320GB drive is better for the gaming enthusiast for a single drive environment?
RAID will be something I'll put off initially, perhaps in a month or two from now I'll get a 2nd disk and try it.

I have reached the limit of stability with the G.Skill 2GBNQ this morning. We have 5.5 hrs Orthos blend stable thus far at:

Having trouble deciding what to do!
Building a new C2D system and I already have the RAM enroute. Link to RAM

A. Purchase Asus P5B...
I had read that AMD's work on their 45nm process is actually progressing smoother than 65nm. After seeing Anandtech's Brisbane review, I thought that maybe AMD could simply drop 65nm and any other trappings that won't propagate over to the 45nm platform's requirements and concentrate solely on...
It seems that I am once again firmly entangled in the horns of a dilemna. After having done a bit of searching and reading on what to do with my system next, I arrived at a crossroads.
