AMD X2 3800+ @ 2.7
2gig Corsair XMS3200
DFI Lanparty Ultra-D

Building -

New rig -
Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 "LGA775 Conroe"
Noctua NH-U12F (Socket LGA775/754/939/940/AM2) Heatsink
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R

Will I see a nice improvement?

I currently have an ATI X1900XT 512mb but I will upgrade that towards October time for my birthday and hopefully some good games are out

All sounds promising

I thought as I currently has a dual core it my not show that much?

But I'm wrong!

 

[iMacMart]

Is there any point if I do a bit of gaming and general window stuff?

 

[iMacMart]

Even in gaming you'll notice a difference even tho youre keeping the same gfx card

Sorry I was referring to the quad core comment...


Stuff should with all here next week I hope

I can always upgrade to a quad later this year I suppose

Well in 6 months or so my current kit will be worth a lot less so thats partly the reason I'm shifting it now and upgrading, the board supports DDR3 which isn't fast atm but will soon be better, and also I can throw a Q**** chip in there if need be

RAM cost at the moment is very cheap for good clocking RAM so.........thats my reasons.........

Plus I love an upgrade as much as the next bloke!

Thanks for the post drunkenmaster!!

Wise words there....


As for the RAID0 I had that before and it went pete tong and I lost data so I won't be going that route again unless I have some sort of external storage backup running!

Now I need to think over my plans........hmmmmm
