Back with a Rig Faster than a Speeding Bullet!

Hi guys i am back with a new PC , these are my old config :

TT ARMOR -2GB OCZ DDR2 533 GOLD -ASUS EN7900GTX -TT 680WAT PSU -CORE2E6600- GIGABYTE 96PDS4

I kept my CPU and Case , and upgrade to these :

1_ASUS P5K-E WIFI , pretty awesome mobo , the reason i didnt ASUS P5KC was that it only supported max 4GB DDR3 , and also it wasnt available here

2_4GB OCZ PC5800 REAPER 4-4-4-15 ram , Very excellent ram , awesome OCing

3_OCZ PROXSTREAM 1000WAT PSU , its very nice , 4 rails (4x12V1) , It ready for Dual 8800ULTRA

5_500GB H.D.D 16MB

5_And finally OCZ 8800GTX LImited Edition(there was only 300 produced and 4 came to iran , and this was the last one) which will be OCed very soon !

Well , i OCed my CPU to 3.2 stable , but this isnt my goal , when i get my new CPU cooler (OCZ VNDICATOR) this week , i will reach 3.3 or 3.4 OR EVEN 3.6
also currently i have 32Bit XP , again when i get my CPU cooler , i will get VISTA ULTIMATE 64bit , for full 4GB ram and DX10 support

overall , its fast , real fast , the reason i didnt get Quadcore was that currenly my CPU is very fast and will be faster , i may get QuadCore few months later,
so rate my rig (with E6600 @ 3.4)

With my CPU @ 3.2, i get 10797

woohoo

Yes , here are my AM3 , SUPER PI , 3DMARK 06 :
3DMARK 06 : (well , its 10782 when i tested now )


SUPER P1 : (15.906)


AM3 (i know its old , but here is my score ) : 174.106





to WAREZME , well i will get QuadCore when there will be more multithreaded games and apps , also i have a 17inch LCD with a 1280x1024 resolution , so i wont need SLI for that resolution , thats why i choosed P5K-E over STRIKER EXTREME ,

woohoo

thanx, when i get my new CPU cooler i will OC my CPU further , also i will OC my OCZ card too , then i will again give you the results

o yeah my 3dmark06 score is 11554

superpi is very cache intensive compared to most things, explains the 2s difference

your cpu is a e6600 with 4 mb or cache. a true conroe core that allows you to go beyond 450+ fsb. i have a allandle core e4300 with 2mb of cache. my highest fsb on a ga 965p ds3 rev 1.3(my motherbord) is 389mghz fsb( 3420ghz) you could easily go up to 3.6ghz and even close to 4ghz with good cooling. PLUS your 8800gtx has 128 shadders with 768mb of vram mine only have 96 shadders with 320mb vram

<yawn>

Like OCZ much?, lol

Im not telling you that it isn't faster, it is a fact alright, the point im trying to make is that for the kind of money you spent it just wasn't worth the performance gains, maybe only the GTX and newer ram at most, since the 8800GTX is about 40% faster than the 7900GTX overall. Also, the PSU was not worth upgrading unless you going for a dual card config, which you didn't.

ASUS P5K Boards are also completely overpriced, especially in comparison to P35 Boards from gigabyte, they offer same features for nearly half the price, best board right now to get is GA-P35-DS3R. I have yet to see a P5K properly priced for what they offer. (Just like that POS Striker Extreme)

As long as you're comfortable with your upgrade then it's good, however I was just trying to point out that it wasn't necessary a complete overhaul of the system to gain the same performance.

It's cool. I like to brand match too if it doesn't cost too much more. OCZ does make good stuff for the most part.
