/brag thread.

Shake has now upgraded to i7.

New Parts:
MSI X58 Platinum SLI Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920
3 x 2 GB OCZ Gold DDR3-1333
Corsair 750w PSU

Old Parts: STILL USING THESE TOO, NOT REPLACING
EVGA 9600GT
2 x 400GB WD Caviar HDs in Raid0
1TB Hitachi Deskstar HD

Very satisfied with the performance, a big upgrade from that AMD dual core I was using previously. Hopefully when I get more money I'll upgrade to a 4870 and buy some SSDs.

I've never actually noticed any increased performance when I changed processors (unless it's like a decade old..) it's all about the ram/video card.
Python is garbage, number 1 advocate of getting rid of it.

I have no use for more than 6gigs of ram, no one should really unless they're running virtual machines or do a lot of encoding.

Graphics card was stated, 9600gt

Yeah I need to fix that, but I have no money. It's fine as I'm not overclocking it yet anyway.

it depends on what you are playing, some games are more CPU - bound than GPU bound. But yeah not alot of games use CPU that much...

does anyone know where to find details about AMD 720 and the trick to enable the fourth core by BIOs? LOL? AMD was so pissed off about that.

in my case my 9600GT is being bottlenecked by my CPU

it's a great card, especially since i got it for a cheap price and it was a huge upgrade from a 7300LE
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

Quite the PSU overkill, at last atm :p

Also I don't see the point in RAID-0, really. That's like begging to lose your data.

Later I'm considering crossfiring a pair of 4870s, which is why I chose a power supply at that size. Plus it was on sale.

I use the raid 0 drives for basically just programs and the os, I have everything else backed up anyway, and have yet to have a drive fail on me.
