Hi, just wanted to stop in and say hi. I just finished building and overclocking my new setup so I figured I would see how it looks to others while I tweak and improve what I can. Here is what I have now:

Acer 22" Widescreen Monitor
CASE: Antec 900
PSU: Antec NeoHE 500w
HDD: Hitatchi Deskstar 160GB Sata 3.0 Gb/s
MOBO: GA-P35-DS3L
RAM: Corsair XMS2 PC-6400 4x 1024
CPU: Intel E2160 - Stock Fan
VID: XFX 8800GS 384mb

Now for some OC results:

Sorry if i'm not supposed to input such a large pic but I figured it would be easy to view everything in 1 image.

As you see, my system says I have 3GB RAM when I actually have 4 sticks. Is this a bad stick or what? Also what are the best tools to use for benchmarks, thanks much.

You don't have a 64-bit operating system, so only 3GB registers.

Also, how are your temps so low on that videocard overclock... I did a 8800GS build at I got (almost) that far and I was loading in the mid-50's with the fan at 50%.

I don't know, heh. I actually thought they seemed a bit high, Idle they sit around 45-50 and playing crysis is when I get to 65+. Isnt 70 when temps are a bit too high and unsafe? I also run my fan at 100% all times if that matters and I live in a cool basement plus the Antec has 5 fans including the huge one on top.

Also: I saw the Everest but I don't really understand what the Queen, PhotoWorxx, Zlib and AES mean or guage. I'll have to download the other one. Thanks.

Can the gs run games at 1680x1050?

I play Biochock and Crysis on High at 1680x1050 and they play perfectly. Crysis without AA I get 25-35FPS and if I lower to 1440x???(900 or something) I can get 35-40FPS.
