RE: My Conroe came today

Congratulations! You must be getting mad FPS now (especially compared to your last card). Cool

It kinda sucks that the motherboard doesn't have a 16x implementation for the PCI-Express slot and that it is ~5% worse than the AGP slot performance wise (up to 10% worse than 16x PCI-e when compared to other boards).

Hmm Has the new graphics card fixed your crashing bugs?

It's fast, and it's fast, and I'm sure you'll be doing some happy gaming with it Grin

Though I'd never buy one myself... Dude, you don't know what you're missing out on by going nVidia... I guess you're not into Oblivion or Test Drive? Or image quality in general Toungue

RE: My Conroe came today

Some more new components to add to the current upgrade. I just received and installed my new motherboard and RAM today. Running an Asus P5B Deluxe with Wifi and 1 GB kit of Geil PC6400 DRR2 RAM. I know the shots aren't too hot, but here's the new stuff altogether.Toungue I let the bunnies have their way with the old ASRock mobo, and the larger one did take a s**t on it.Thumbsup Some shots as well from within CPUZ.

Awesome news plot, that was a long wait, but well worth it. Nice 3D mark score btw. Your rigs looking pretty nice.

RE: My Conroe came today

I just got tired of not being able to do anything anymore. The ASRock board went downhill like crazy once I put the 7900 in. It just pushed it over the edge.Toungue

RE: My Conroe came today

A hell of a bump, I know, but a bit of an update to the rig done recently. Got an E6600 now, clocked at 2.93 Ghz and 2 GB Corsair XMS2 Dominator DDR2 PC6400 RAM.Grin
