Hey gang,
So I purchased a lightly used (like 4 days old, newly built) system and I'm currently rocking a HD4350 while I wait for the GTX 560 to drop.
System wise I've got:
Core i5 750 stock/stock heatsink (no plans to OC)
4GB DDR3 1333Mhz (2x2GB)
1TB WD Sata 3 64MB cache drive
Antec...
Happened to have an older Xeon server drop into my lap today.
Specs:
Dual-CPU 2.8GHz Nocona Xeon processors w/ 1MB L2
1x2GB DDR2 (PC3200)
Video card wise, it's rocking an older 6800GS and a 7300GT.
The board is a super micro board that has PCI-E v1.0 so it has the full bandwidth, but I'm...
I know-- Busted old system... needs more memory and probably a better PSU--- but for the sake of saving money--- I'm trying to find the best video card for the system.
Basic gameplay includes Source games (CS:S, TF2 etc) maybe Modern Warfare 2 and others, but I'm not expecting great things...

I am fully aware that Windows 7 RC1 is in Beta right now. I am not blasting Windows 7 nor am I bashing Nvidia. This is simply a discussion about what games work/don't work with OC's in Windows 7.
For whatever reason.... it seems that Windows 7 is pretty damn picky about...
I have the Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 rated @ 1.65v and I have un-plugged the memory and re-seated the memory.
Here's what CPU-Z says:
I have all the BIOS settings correct for the memory using the "Xtreme Memory Profile" or "X.M.P" setting in the BIOS.
I'm using the latest F5 BIOS from...
Of the 1GB 4870's, I like the looks and the cooler looks decent enough to keep the card cool.
I'm feverishly do some run downs between the Core 216 vs. the 4870 1GB's and any input would be great.
This is going into my new build in sig.
Thanks guys.

Hey guys,
I'm selling the rig in my sig (see below) and thinking about going the C2D route this time instead of the quad-core route due to the cores just not getting used. (also--- less heat to deal with).
Anyways--- I had a E8400 at work w/ 6GB of RAM and it seemed to keep the paces on...
Right now I'm rockin' a XFX 9600GT which i'm on the verge of RMA'ing and dumping for something a bit more powerful. (not to mention problems I've had with it.)
My question is.... what's my best option out there?
I'm primarily looking at the 9x series and up.
So out there now I've got...
