Nice! I'm not into computer gaming, but am a computer geek. I started ordering things for my studio computer last week. Going with a 2.66ghz quad core with DDR3 1600mhz ram and 1gb vid card. Should be nice. I'll be hooking up 2 Samsung 22" widescreens, and probably a 32" LCD for displaying proofs to customers.

Nice setup. Even nicer poster on the wall.

Wish I had that to go with my Logitech G25 Steering wheel

lol nice. I'll be getting a couple of 9600 GT's. I'm starting with 4 gigs of ram. DDR3 is not cheap right now. I'll be upgrading later. I'm just psyched that my mobo has built in wireless. I'll be using an Asus P5Q3 Deluxe.

I'd like to go with 24" screens, but the price difference for a really good screen is huge when you're comparing 22" and 24". My 24" Westinghouse is great for web browsing and such, but it doesn't have the definition or color calibration settings needed for print work.

Have you overclocked the Quad Core? I've seen people overclock the 2.66 over 3. I won't do it right away, but I may try it later if it starts feeling "slow" after a year or so. This will be my studio computer, so I'll want it to be as stable as possible.

I want to but my cooling isnt the best right now so im not even going to try it yet ! WIth what im running right now the damn thing can take any and everything I throw it .. to include movie and music editing !

Better you're not a total loss after all...

All you're missing is a Track-IR system and you'd be set.

Now why the hell are you driving the Chevy Lacetti?!? The BMW is way better!

We don't have too many OT threads in here. Nothing like 5.0!

 

[walter]

Isn't crazy OT threads the gold standard for awesome forums?

I ran the Crysis benchmark and averaged 44 FPS with all settings on Very High w/ vertical sync on and 4x anti-aliasing. Nothing is overclocked and I run about 31*C when at load and about 24*C at idle. My Windows Vista "Score" is 5.9 across the board. Currently I don't have my file server up and running as I am trying to find a new apt./house closer to work. I usually have my Laptop, Desktop and 2 servers running.
