    Lightbulb Just After a bit of advice!!

    Hi, All

    I am currently thinkin of upgrading my pc and buying a new

    Intel Conroe E6700
    Asus P5W DH Deluxe
    2GB Corsair DDR2 6400 XPERT
    ASUS Nvidia GeForce 7950x2
    250GB Seagate Barracuda Sata 300

    i have been unable to find any benchmarks where Two 3.4GHZ Xeons have been put agains a conroe, so was wondering whether any one has a simular setup or knows whether i will see a preformance increse compared to my current system (see Below!)

    Also is it worth oredering a X6800 Xtreme From the US as they only seem to be slightly more expensive than a X6700 here. Are there any drawbacks to ordering from overseas??

    Thanks for your help!

    If you buy from the US you might have to pay tax duty!

    Agree! The value of items to be imported before tax has been reduced over the years to as low as £28 approx (Info on Royal Mail or Customs & excise).

    If you order from a company in the U.S, they have to put the value of the item on the outside of the package. When our Customs see it, they tell the Post Office, & they have to collect the levy on delivery. I've been stung.

    If you know anyone going to the U.S. on holiday start crawling
