Im gonna get an ATI HD 4870 X2 with my new pc for christmas!!!!!!

[MrCookie]

I'm getting a dual-core 2.55 GHz CPU, new motherboard, a new power supply and another GeForce 8600 GT to make SLI with my other GeForce 8600 GT.

Don't worry, I 100% doublechecked to make sure the two 8600s are the same. And they ARE.

My laptop still owns that. C:< You will never win. 9800M GS

Sadly no. Those 2 8600GTs in SLI will easily out perform your 9800m GS. Mobile chips suck ass.

Because of our good friend heat.

Can't say I am having any trouble with the stock VGA cooler.

72^oC vs. 37^oC idle and it was 34^oC before I overclocked.

The GT 200 cards idle somewhere in the 50/60s I believe. It severely hampers overclocking potential. $600 doesn't seem worth it for a water cooling system. Not as important for Nvidia cards, but ATI stock coolers are notorious for being stuff.

God damn it, I always hit quote or some stuff.

You're going to be dissapointed that XP will only see 3.2 of the 4GB of RAM.

You may want to consider getting the Q6600. Several of the latest games are starting to utilize the 4 cores and it really helps with multimedia work. What brand of PSU are you getting?

[Otis Da HousKat]

Reactor Worker, I can't answer PMs.

I have a Zalman CNPS9700.

The ATI fans aren't that bad I hear,they have stuff auto control.

I have the Q6600 and I really recommend it, I have never had any problems with it so far and I have it for about 5 months now.
