Got around to snapping some pictures of it. Went back to XP since Saitek didn't have drivers out for Vista yet and I wanted to use the Joystick and throttle to play IL2 and Flight Sim X.

Here are the specs again:

AMD Anthlon 64 X2 @2.00Ghz
2GB G.Skill DDR800 Memory

awesome! did the zalman fan/heatsink kit for your 3d card come with the little ram heatsinks?

only thing im confused with is your clock speeds on the 3d card. with my 7800GT-OC im running 2.18GHz for memory clock speed and 467Mhz for core clock speeds, and thats only using the "Detect Optimal" settings. did you input those manually or are they detect optimal as well?

and wheres the 3Dmark06 scores?

I ran Detect Optimal and then backed the core off 10mhz and its perfectly stable. Wasn't trying to kill the card just wanted a nice overclock. I may give her another go. I got 604/1494 for the 06 below with stock cooling. So I imagine I could break 5k now.

Here is my score in 06: Futuremark - ORB - Project Comparison

Almost had 5k.

and yea the Zalman VF900 comes with ram heatsinks.

You made me want to try for 5k now. Going to crank it up and see what I can do.

Very nice Brent.

[Brent]

Well I have a new record but it isn't 5k

Futuremark - ORB - Project Comparison

4965 there. 3DMark06 shows 604/1530

I could break it if my damn MB would let me overclock. I'd make it up via the CPU score.

When you have three hard drives, 2 fans, one of which requires a molex connection, DVD, video card it gets a little messy.

Honestly I could careless what it looks like inside. It's a solid case. No one sees in it till you open it up.

[dark]

fair enough, but still... zoinks!
