yeah though i've heard it is solvable by changing the voltages on the ram in bios. but its still a headache!

your probably right on the cpu price front, though in theory it should bring down the quad prices but as i said i doubt these cpu';s will be realistacally out till at least next year, as they've been put back twice now!

i think ddr3 is only worth it if your thinking of major clocking, as they run at something like 1066mhz now! but i already have ram i'm gunna use for my build which is ddr2 so i'll stick with that.

some nice boards there, tho there so many to pick from its hard to find which is best! i was looking at the x38 though at over £150 i dont think i'll be going for that! lol shame cos it looks like such a nice board runs dual pci-e x16!

i'm also lookin at tv's, as i'm trying to figure out how i would run 3 screens thats if i find a good spec tv thats worth it lol.
