Well its old news to most computer gurus. Anyways they would dent my pocket book to much and yet they are directed to the average Joe. I don't get that but I want to see how they do.

Doubt it will do anything to your power. CPUs use very little volts just watts, so get a high wat PSU you will be fine unless your running your power off teliphone lines. I have 2 computers running in this house, 1 with a Presscot and one AMD, both have 2 hard drives going. As long as your power metter is not spinnin like a frisby.

"Your a hardcore overclocker if the only thing that keeps your power bll under 100$ a month is the power meter dials do a full turn thus fooling the power reader."

Trust me Dan, you don't need one! Wink

Overclockers, and their forums, are great places for people with deep pockets & little common sence. Wink

Never forget, a £600 Pentium 4 extreme edition, or, 2 Xeon's will not produce any noticable improvements when playing games when compared to a single cpu at a similar speed.

Companys have the uses ,and pockets, for such kit.
Gamers like you or I, will rarely use what PC hardware we have now to its true potential!

The "real world useage" differance between such specs is a few seconds in certain applications such as video editing / compressing etc but, price wise, poles apart.

Ahh, I've never dealt with Overclockers.COM , but, Overclockers.co.uk are just down the road from me, I've dealt with them many times, and usually, what you want is in stock.

Still waiting for the 6600GT Paul ?

I've been reading about these dual core chips. It seems to me that they would be great for gaming, but only if the games you are using are made to take advantage of them.

Paul, I know a guy who had a similer experience on a bike, but his happened in Florida and he almost lost his leg.
