Nice, especially the 4200 x2, I can certainly vouch for that although mine is going tomorrow, got a fantastic offer I could not refuse as in lots more than I paid for it (on special offer) so am just gonna get me a 4000+ (only £88 at the moment and am getting £250 for the 4200!!!) and pocket the rest until Christmas when i too will build a new rig around Conroe (when the prices come down a bit). Good rig tho.

Yea I was considering Conroe But its just way to high of price... This system im on now is great... But not great enough.. Dual core amd will be good for me for a long time. As I have said before, I will be getting dx10 cards when they lower.. I think dual core amd+dx10= great.... and dx9 and dual core amd seems great also... OC all my stuff on my sli-d mobo... Ill be running amazing.

Drade, before you overclock go to DFI Street, or else you'll be very confused, especially with all of the memory timings.

Yeah...I read the whole thing, and I'm still confused about the memory timings since their BIOS are tweaked for TCCD and BH-5, but I have CH-5...
