Dude!!! This is really funny! Killer is so obvious. I can tell from how "he" types his text. It resembles so much similarity to Airowlf's way of typing. You know, run on sentences, naming as many mods in a long list consecutively, and have not many periods. lol

****..blows the **** out of my specs. I haven't built a PC in a few years but mine still has more ***** than my car, that's for damn sure.

I ran x64 for a while. Things felt a lot snappier, but apps and drivers are somewhat of a bitch. How're you liking the 8GB? What's your page filing set up like? I used to control it but now i'm just like w/e.

Crossfire...jeebus. I've never heard of that PSU but hopefully you'll have no problems. Next build i'm deffinetely going with PCP&C

Hey KillerSxt where is your shop exactly, I live here in good ole Missouri and would like to check out your shop. If your shop is legit I just might drop some cash for some parts, got a CF trunk for a 05 neon? If so everyone else will know you are not someone else.

Lol yeah the last PC I built for myself was a P4 at 3.0 GHz with HyperThreading and a massive 2GB of RAM (at the time), so this PC is quite the improvement.

As far as page filing, Vista is pretty damn good at handling that and optimizing memory useage, especially when you have huge amounts like 8GB (which is an awesome feeling btw).

I almost bought a PCP&C PSU, but I really wanted at least 1,000 watts with my setup (Crossfire is a damn hog) and the closest they sell is like $600...so I found a good alternative.

My driver issues with 64-bit Vista is basically non-existant anymore, but all of my stuff is pretty new so it wasn't hard finding official or really great beta drivers for everything I had. So far though, x64 is so much better then 32-bit Win XP ever was.

Oh, and in case you were interested, my 3dMark06 score is 19,400....

Ohhhhhh **** you're X64 VISTA

**** that!

Hahahaha

I'm talking about X64 XP! No wonder your drivers are easy to find. Vista felt like waaayy too much of a memory hog with what i'm used to. I have my OS's cleaned up good...I haven't messed with Vista enough to get comfortable.
