Hi Sam,
I have my 2.66 E6700's around 3.6 to 3.8 GHz. Hopefully I can go 1GHZ over on the E6850 as well and see 4.0 or better. I don't know what problems I'll run into though.

I'm expecting 4 GHz @ 500x8, like I've seen at VR-Zone Attained at 1.5 volts with the stock Intel HS!

Well, the problem you have there is that 3.8 or so Ghz is about the limit for all Core 2 Duos, not considering which one you get, it just happens that the lowest grade ones can't make it quite that far without being water or phase cooled. As for the new 1333mhz ones, maybe the limit's been upped, who knows?

Well, I won't hold my breath. It was a lot longer between the 7800GTX and the 8800GTX than just a year.

Hehe true, but there is at least the gratifying feeling of knowing you have the fastest class of GPU available....

Actually the 8800GTX is more powerful than the RSX.

Yep, indeed. And it's irrelevant, because my X1900XT is not only also faster than the RSX, but can run a higher resolution too, 2560x1600 vs 1920x1080.
Granted that's not quite the point of games consoles, but with the PS3, I think it is the point.

Full HD is 1920x1080 Progressive. That's all it is, My Graphics card can produce 2560x1600 progressive, and apply post-processing such as Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering to make it look better.

Nope, solely graphics. Your 8600GTS isn't quite powerful enough. Applying AA and AF usually loses you a good 40% of your frame rate, often more.

Well, as I was discussing with DInc in another thread, no card, really. That's the whole point.

Actually it's been tis way for years, deliberately, so you play a game once on what you have, then again later when you can run it at full specs.

Yep, and the hardware manufacturers have a field day fleecing money out of customers. Don't we feel special? :S

This is going to sound tacky, but the one I use now, just with a couple of modifications - a quieter Corsair PSU, a Thermalright heatsink, and a modified 8800GTX (singular).
I love my PC, I don't need another! :-)
