I wouldn't get a 4850. I came from a 8800gt. And I must say, if I didn't sell my 8800gt for the price I bought my 4850, I wouldn't have been very happy. I see very small increases in games. Although now they are getting a little better. I would recommend a 4870 as an upgrade. Better yet CF 4850s.

Isn't there supposed to be a 4850X2 coming out next month at the $450 price point?

You're on a 19" monitor, that's likely why you didn't see a big difference

you can only clock that chip to 3GHZ with that board,so you need to think about bottlenecks,2x8800gt shouldnt be a bottleneck at 3ghz

You need the read up the thread about your board here on OCN.

You need ALOT more than a simple vcore change to overclock that quad with your board.

You have one of the worst overclocking quad board.

There are only a hand full that ever got to 3.0ghz with that board and a q6600.

My advice is ..if you do decide to keep your board, get another 8800gt to sli, and sell that q6600 for an e8400.

You can then overclock that dual core to around 4.0ghz.

4.0ghz w/8800sli will beat any quad at 2.4 with 4850 in terms of gaming.
