 You're the hugest PC geek on Vgchartz!! Good man!

Er... thanks, I guess. Hey Mummelmann, we have the same monitor and processor!

Also, you've overclocked your CPU and GPU, and you're calling me a PC geek? Oh well. How well has the SyncMaster 204B stood up for you? Do you notice the lack of colour uniformity?

Some questions for Copycon: What exactly do you mean by the term "Telnet browser"? Are you perhaps referring to establishing PPP over Kermit?

I actually meant dos browsers like Bobcat with PPP-drivers, nothing to do with telnet, my bad :D

 The monitor is working greatly for me, never any ghosting or performance dips, but the SyncMaster series is a tad unpredictable and varies somewhat in quality (the boarding is sensitive, so a little joustling in freight can stirr up the whole thing).

Lol, yeah I did overclock just to get a few increments extra out of it. It still packs a punch, but the GPU is faltering on a few new games on the topmost settings, mainly due to no DX10 support...   Which is why I bought a P5B series motherboard so I can upgrade to a DX10 card when a more affordable and worthwhile one arrives!

4GHz Quad Core cpu (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 over clocked)
4GB DDR3 RAM @ 1333MHz
Dual 512MB Radeon HD 3870
Vista Ultimate
4 terabytes of storage
flat screen 30" moniter

What made you spend $1,100+ on a CPU and then put two midrange graphics cards worth a fifth of that each in Crossfire? Crossfire is unpredictable: it might increase or decrease performance, but never double it. Graphics > CPU, especially as most games barely utilise a second core never mind a fourth. One GeForce 8800GTX > Two Radeon 3870 for a similar price

Also, why Vista Ultimate? At this point, XP is about 10% faster on most games than Vista, and DirectX 10 is always optional and in every game so far adds very little to graphics quality while reducing framerates by a third.

When you got 4GB RAM, did you buy an AMD64-compatible OS? If not, about 1GB of that is wasted, and indeed on Vista (not XP) every 1MB of graphics memory you have directly removes 1MB from your system RAM. You probably end up with 2.5GB of usable RAM.


 I'm guessing someone wanted to make a powerhouse, and fell for all the marketing gimmicks like numbers and brand names without properly researching... 



Yeah, I finally have a sig.
