So far, I have had few if any issues with 9.10. ATM the only issue I had was with my video drivers (got the latest ones and tried to install them but they didn't work) but that was easily fixed by just using EnvyNG.

This is REAL DX11 here people. I am a regular on OCN (overclock.net) and a fellow member (VCheeZ) has showed all of us the power of tesselation. God it looks amazing when the wire frames are enabled. That dragon looks completely white with tesselation enabled on it.

For a long time I have used 32-bit but ever since Win7 RTM I have been using 64-bit and I am not looking back. I just love it!

I saw this on OCN a few weeks ago.

Whenever I upgrade to a new OS, I NEVER UPGRADE! I always do a fresh install. Sure it is a pain, but meh. After I do a clean install, it takes about 3-4 hours for me to get everything up and running again.

I have been a long time member on OCN and read that aticle as soon as it came up. God did it piss me off. I am a linux advacist and 90% of what has been said is complete BS. I have never seen linux not be able to take pics off of a camera and out of all the printers I have used, only one has not worked with linux (because it was BS scanner). Everything else works great. Hell I even had WoW running in wine just fine and even HL2 running.

Next time MS does this crap, I am going to punch every single on of the people that work there in the nuts!

Agreed. I am running a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R rev. 1.1 (P45 chipset) with a Q6600 G0 (1.275 vid) and I hit 3.6 the first day I got it. Right now I am running it happily at 3.717 w/ 1.525v in bios (1.504v CPUz), but my temps get up there. I hit about 75C during load with Intel Burn Test which is not bad for what I have (and S1283 w/ Ultra Kaze 3k, taped, using IC7 TIM). For 109 USD, the UD3R is one of the best boards I have ever used. It can take 2000+ MHz FSB which is just plan nuts!

Personally I would say drop the damn Striker Extreme and get a Gigabyte UD3R or UD3P. Though you do not have SLI, you can get 2 HD4770s in Xfire and it would beat the snot out of a 8600GT or even an 8800GT.

Remember, you can push your voltages up to 1.55 just fine on a 65nm. But if you had a Q6600, those babies can take a beating and keep on ticking. I have seen people stress these at +1.6v! Someone even had theirs hitting 100C and had it like that for about 10 hours and didn't even know it! That is some crazy stuff right there. And after that, the chip worked just fine. They are hard to kill and are even harder to get a crazy overclock out of them (3.75+ on air is rather hard to do).

I have an Antec 300 and we all know how bad the cable management is in that beast. Well, a dremel, time, imagination, zip ties, duct tape, more time, and a rasp can do the job :D
