do you mean 4.4GHz stable?, I'm going with 4gb of ram off the bat

no. it is harder to achieve as high of OC with 4gb ram (all slots full).

looks like it would be the other way around but ok i didn't know that
windows only sees 3gb but they sell it in 2gb kits

15000 vs 11k is a significant boost, I'll bear that in mind, and with 1GB of memory you can yank the resolution right up..
Trouble is, it looks like once again my issues with crossfire are faulty hardware. If the memory on my second 3870 gets above stone cold it artifacts and crashes. Do I put RAMsinks on, or do I replace the card again?
THeone: I can tell you now, there's nothing I've ever tested that's got anywhere near as low as 17dB, so that ambient noise level isn't going to affect the accuracy of their tests. The issue with silentpcreview, is that they do just that, they want silence - not very quiet, but silent. I don't need that, and very few people except those perhaps in a recording studio do. As such, they will moan about even the slightest noise. They do, however, make a good point about ball bearing fans, particularly 120mm ones, 80mms are nowhere near as bad. I can still hear the FM121 no matter how low I take the rpm because the blade assembly hisses as it turns round. If I'm close enough to my PC, that annoys me, so those fans rightfully fail the silence test!
Indeed, I'm using an FM121 currently to blast obscene amounts of air over my faulty second 3870 to keep it cool enough, and even at 700rpm (below the minimum speed I believe - by the way all of my 3.5" bay fan controllers for those fans have stopped working) there's a definite roar that's irritating and I have to cut the speed back even further - note that this noise is audible over a Raptor HDD sat outside the case, a crummy 2500rpm graphics cooler and a Hiper PSU at a higher-than-it-really-should-be speed. For a fan pushing that little air to be audible above that lot, what can I say.
Greensman: The info is from SPCR with the exception of the OCZ and the Toughpower which I've estimated from hearing the relevant units compared to the ones SPCR have reviewed.
Rob: I agree with the others, check inside the box!

sam, although the 1GB ram will let one ramp up the res and AA/AF to max, the 256bit interface will bottleneck it.

I know, but even so there are occasions where the 8800GT could have done much better with more RAM, so that should still semi-solve those issues.

I think coretemp is designed more with the C2D chips in mind...I would trust it above the rest.

The temperature readings are very accurate as the data is collected from a Digital Thermal Sensor (or DTS) which is located in each individual processing core, near the hottest part. This sensor is digital, which means it doesn't rely on an external circuit located on the motherboard to report temperature, its value is stored in a special register in the processor so any software can access and read it. This eliminates any inaccuracy that can be caused by external motherboard circuits and sensors and then different types of programs trying to read those sensors.
yours is on their list too:

THE BIG RED MACHINE
Everest
ive ran orthos for about 20 mins its fine so far at stock speeds
3.0ghz
1066mhz
i did take the jumper pin out of my 250gb sata hdd to give me the full use of the 3.0 instead of the 1.5. and man can i tell a difference. its unreal...
i got so much to play with here its unreal.lol
im going to run orthos in it for the next 24hrs. leave it at stock settings until sunday then take it up to a medeocre OC...lol
gotta check out the 20x litey and see it work too.
edit to add:
thinking of 2 of theses instead of the monitor if my dad is still gonna buy it for me..lol

Hey be nice Rob probably double checked, then triple checked and then checked again to be on the safe side every single connection :D

Rob - I looked at the temps you have in Everest and they are basically the same as mine, and thats been on for about 8 days now. The cores on the e8xxx chips always seem to be about 20 degrees higher than the CPU temp.
Mines currently:-
Motherboard - 38
CPU - 26
Core 1 - 47
Core 2 47
GA-P35C-DS3R Rev 2.0 F6 - E8200 @ 3.2Ghz - 2x1GB Corsair XMS2 800Mhz@4-4-4-12 - Sapphire 2600XT 512mb GDDR3 - CM690 Dominator - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro - 250GB Maxtor and 500GB WD internal SATA HDD - 500GB Seagate eSATA and 500GB Maxtor One Touch III USB External HDD - 2 x Pioneer DVR-215DBK - Windows XP SP2 - Logitech X-540 5.1 70W RMS Speakers - Polaroid FLU-2632 Monitor

Hey fellas try core temp (d/l link provided.. :D), I think it really is more accurate than Everest. Sorry to NOT trust Everest but I've used 3 (three) different versions before and they all seem to be "different" .. lol.
Robert,
GLAD to hear that you actually checked the contents of that package. hehehe. :P Up and running already... in 2 hours no less..... :D
LOCO,
Good for you on your "re-build" as well.... hehehe. :D
BTW what voltages are you guys running on your cpu?? I'm curious to see if you can REDUCE that voltage and give yourself better temps even with an OC (mediocre as it may be). I'd think running the cpu at 1.15v instead of 1.225 volts would be better if it will stay STABLE!! Just thoughts running around in me little head. It would be COOLER as well, at least I think it would...... ;)

way to go Robert.
my cpu temp is a constant 33C at idle regardless of ambient temp or OC. fully loaded @ 3.6ghz it's a constant 44C. I'm getting different core temp readings between core temp and everest ultimate ed. fully loaded at 3.6ghz, core temp reports 46C and everest reports 55C.
mobo temp varys between 28C and 30C depending on ambient temp and load.
I think I forgot to change the pin on the back of my seagate hdd too. why the hell don't they send it out preset at 3.0 gb/s?

For me Coretemp gives exactly the same temps (as does speedfan and gigabytes easytune) - its because the TJMax is at 105c in both I believe.
My CPU voltage is 1.23750 up from the 1.22500 default - it wasnt stable at lower volts.

i know i can tell a big change in things with that silly pin gone and running it at the 3.0 gb from the 1.5. i really cant wait to get one of them 32mb chache sata drives.. unreal in the speed of that i bet.
just talked to the wife. i have orthos running. been almost 10 hours and its still in the green(no pun there gm)im gona let it have 24hr of orthos then just use it for a day or so then take it up to 3.4ghz and leave it until next week sometime when i hope the wife is back to work and i can get my PSU(corsair HX620w). once that happens. then Greensman, you will have something in the mail ;)(no not the old psu)
think my new 20x sata litey is gonna need a RMA.. the dang tray when it ejects acts like it is gonna pop right out of the drive. its real loose..send it back and get 2 more of them..lol
