#1 Doesn't it have to be the SAME exact card? Or just a 7600GT?
#2 I don't have the REP to buy or sell on Overclock.net
#3 Your Avatar is disturbing. LoL

Hmm $115+S&H for one that's been tweaked... or $90 for one untouched.
Thanks for the info on buying, but I can't see buying that for the much.

By the way your avatar is still disturbing. lol

Finally got my rig up and running. Posted on first attempt.. Hooray! Running at 2.8 ghz, RAM @ 840 mhz and 4-4-4-12 timings. CPU temps < 40C. Can't wait until I have time to push it further! What benchmarking tools can I use to get an idea of where I am at? I am downloading 3D Mark 06 right now.

So do I need to run all of those to see if my system is stable or is one better than the others? How long should I run each one?

Hey GT, what are you getting for 3DMark scores w/ those dual 6800s? I want to get another 7600GT and I would love to know your score due to same CPU and same MoBo, and virtually same memory.

Marin8n, Orthos is the true stability test. Run it for as long as you wish, but I have found anything over 10 hours proves 24/7 stability.

If you are going to get errors, MOST of them will show in the first 10 minutes.
Make sure you get the dual core Orthos. Here, I'll attach it

Memtest is the true memory benchmark, I have never used it, I really should.
Just have to bring myself to burn it...wait, can you burn it to CD?

Anyway, the other benchmarks are mostly just scores and such. 3DMark will crash if it hits errors, but the only errors you would get there and not in Orthos are video card related(as far as I know)
