    Oricalcos, I appreciate your concern but I was rather enjoying the lack of bitching in this thread. I believe that he was never banned, sNk was the one who was in the end (could be wrong).

    Now, can we continue our discussions?

    Cheers for the help guys =]

    Was looking at a quadcore...

    I just got a new monitor, 17", 2ms refresh, but I like running duals, so I'd get another of the same. Besides, I don't think my room will support a 24"... Although, would be VERY nice!!

    I like the look of the Antec 900 case

    It will be mainly gaming to be honest.

    The ones I had in mind were the Q6600... The Antec 900 for sure... Creative X-FI Xtreme Gamer Soundcard...

    That's about it at the moment.

    You dont need a soundcard really, its really just for pretentious audiophiles, and if you are going to get vista like the pr0s, it causes more problems.You can still have decent 7.1 (usually 5.1 for most people) sound from your mobos onboard, and in fact the integrated ones are getting better. I would leave the soundcard for a later date.

    Also Quadcores require very little energy compared to any AMDs

    Im buying a soundcard for the exact reason that only stereo output works on my intergrated 7.1 and mic input doesnt work on it via vista.

    Mine required a little fiddling with teamspeak, but it works now... Creative cards have problems with vista though ez.

    Re: New motherboard recommendation?

    Yeah but tbh if you dont have vista you only need about 200GB HDD if you arent video editing. Just get a cheaper one.

    The most idiotic statment Ive ever heard.

    in the early days with the first quadcores on server systems NOT intel consumer quads was where you had to set each process mannually to a core.

    I cannot be bothered to go into it but theres a massive difference between a dual and a quad.


    also please get more than 800mhz if you playing to OC your CPU.
