Hi, i read that it accepts 1066. :) Should i change voltage or anyhting?

It's an ABIT IP35 PRO with a Q6600

thanks. Is it a good idea for me to just set the speed or should i really set the timings and the voltage levels too? I'm not considering to overclock at the moment. ;)

I'm pretty good with hardware but when it comes to reclocking stuff i get rather confused. :-) I have a pair of Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz: http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-093-CR However when the BIOS kicks in it only shows them at being around...

i had a 6800GT with an artic cooler and at idle it was 50 odd too. I thought that's a suitable temp?

So what temperatures should i get worries about?

What do you use for benchmarking?

Great response, thanks!! When should i get worried with the temperature? It sits 54 idle.

I got this card and started to play Crysis (ace!). I read that it has high potential for overclocking. How do i overclock? I.e. Find the best frequencies without it crashing... :) I downloaded Riva Tuner but i don't see a "test" section.

To me this is a HUGE jump. I'm moving from two 6800GTs. *rubs hands in glee*

Ended up going for the EVGA GTS with Crysis. I can't wait to be able to game in style. :)

Superb answer! OEM it will be. ;-)

thanks for all the replies. I have another question: OEM or Retail? Let's say in 2 years I update my mobo, can i still use OEM?

Double hmmm. :) Judging by peoples mixed advice here, i think what I may do is get 2GB of ram, my gfx card, and Vista Home premium 64. Then dual boot, that way i'm getting the best of both worlds?

hhmmmm...some excellent comments there. I will have a little think. :) There is the dual boot option, i.e. use XP for anything that doesn't work in Vista?

Hi folks, still not bought my new card yet (8800GTS), will do over the coming weeks. As time goes by i'm thinking i may go Vista64. I want to try DirectX10 games when i get my new card. Hope this is the correct location for this post. :) Question time :) : I have the following: Intel Core 2...

ok, so i unplugged the VGA cable, booted up and the screen recognised the signal. All is ok. Got round to installing Windows Updates and one of them was an update to the screen's driver. So i guess i don't need a new PSU, that's good!

I had no idea it was good! I'll have a play about with the DVI tonight.

Yeah it needs an 8 pin power connector (as well as a 4 pin molex and the standard connector). The PSU has a 4 pin. The manual does state this is ok but to "follow with some regulations etc" it is recommended to use an 8 Pin.

Hi, so last night (didn't have a lot of time to test much), I plug in the DVI into the 2nd port of the graphics card. I boot up and the screen recognises the Analogue signal, as soon as it gets to the Windows XP login screen it switches to Digital and Nvidia's control panel recognises the...
