New to this comparison is Corsair's TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF, chosen for its EPP configuration of CAS 4.0 at 1066 MHz data rate using Nvidia's "SLI Ready Memory" BIOS setting.
A high-end system really needs a powerful graphics card for top gaming performance, such as this 8800GTX from Foxconn carried over from 680i Comparison Part One.
Keeping Cooler Master's quiet yet powerful Hyper TX around for yet another comparison was an easy choice, especially after considering its pin-mount compatibility with the Crazy Cool 2 backplate of Gigabyte's GA-N680SLI-DQ6.
Western Digital's 150 GB Raptor ages like a fine wine, remaining unchallenged in Serial ATA PC hard drive performance.
