Ok I've had AMD for ever! I'm tired of the snails pace the AMD DuoCore X2s run at! Multitasking is not their strong point, nor is OCing, cheap is! Need input on possible new Intel rig.... MB: FoxConn X38A or Mars board or P35AP-S CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6850 (3.0ghz) Conroe Mem: Curcial Ballistix 2GB DDR2 PC 6400 HDD: WD Raptor 150GB Cooling: Zalman CNPS9700 Video: EvGa 8800GT 512MB OS: Windows XP Pro Supplier: Of course NewEgg! Well what ya think? I've never owned FoxConn products before... FoxConn seems to be almost future proof- DDR2/DDR3, support for the upcoming 45nm cpus, PCI-E 2.0. Author .:Boo Radley:.

For me vista is faster, and ootb has all the little tweaks and addons that I used to spend a lot of time maintaining on xp. Stable, functional, intuitive, whats not to like?

I have that same processor (6850 core 2 Duo 3.0). It kicks ass. I have mine overclocked from 3.0 Ghz to 3.31 Ghz with stock cooling. It is perfectly stable! I believe I can go a lot faster too. _________________ Keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting what you're getting...
