thanks. had no canned air !

I don't know if i should spend 200$ on RAM, but now for 600$ you can have something 4 times more powerful than what I have so.. it might be the last update for it.

yeah, thanks for the suggestion.

My PSU is a 460Watts, PCI-E ready, Crossfire Ready. Could I have something nice out of this if i buy another mobo/cpu/gfx card ?

But heck, I should save for a quad-core.

If you play games on it the best upgrade you could do bang-for-buck would be a graphics card probably.

Overclock:

Core: Stock: 380 Mhz - Modded: +14%

Before: Artefacts @ 390 Mhz
Now: Artefacts @ 434 Mhz

Memory: Stock: 340mhz (680) - Modded: +12%

Before: Artefacts @ 360 Mhz (720)
Now: Artefacts @ 382 Mhz (764)

Edit: GPU-Z Performance Review

Stock:


Zalman vf900-cu w/ memory aluminium heatsink. + Arctic Silver 5 Paste


GPU-Z VALIDATION

So that's the max clock with the Zalman vf900-cu and 8 aluminium heatsink,

enjoy
