I'm glad I just ordered my awesome new 64bit system :)
Can't wait to see how it handles LW and other programs, like Vue and PS and some others.
Should be loads of fun :)

Yep. You'll be running twice my speed, since I only have a single core athlon system, but since my total cost for the whole system was like $750 or so, I can't complain. (No shipping, and tax free days.)

I just kinda wish they'd supplied xp64 with the system as well though.


Well, if you get that before me, let me know how it handles things?
I've pretty much spent myself clean, so I won't even be able to afford the OS upgrade for a while anyway.
I still need to get the basics for my system, namely the case and power supply and fans and DVD/CD sort of stuff.
So, more then likely, even though I'll be getting most of my oredered items this week,
I probably won't actually gt to PLAY till later next month :(
But, that's OK, as I want to spend more time then I did the
last time on deciding which case will suit me the best.
I want a COOOOOLLLLL (as in COLD) running system.
And one way ot another, I'm going to get that.
Even if it means running a hose from the fridge to the case LOL
All kidding aside though, I do want to do some serious research on cooling and
cooling that won't totally and completely break the bank for me, like most cooling systems do.
And most of the cases I've looked at so far, I don't like at all!
Most are ugly as all get out or cost a fortune, or both!
Or they have those stupid doors covering the front of the computer, and that would get
on my nerves right away and I could just see me ripping the flipping thing off within a few days LOL
I just want a nice decent mid sized case and not a toy or a titanium vault or something.
My current case is the best one I've ever owned and it was only 50 bucks and works like a charm!
I may end up just getting me another on of the same thing?
I'd still have to replace the power supply, but I don't mind that.
I could always hock the one that comes with the case.

I mainly like the light display on the front that shows my temp and everything else that's important
and most, well, practically ALL of the cases I looked at so far do NOT even have such a cool feature.

The reviews are full of it too for the most part.
They make out like it's some flimsy thing or something.
I've had no problems with it.
But, I would like better cooling then my current setup.
This one has fans in every spot possible, which comes out to:
1-120mm front fans
2-80mm rear fans
2-80mm fans on the PS

But my main issue I think, other then cooling,
is that it's hard to get HDs into the slots where they go into.
I like the new kind that let you slide them in from the side in and out.
But most, or all of those are either ugly as hell or not enough fans.

Now you can see why it's taking me some time to decide on the case/power supply.
