Creative SBLive!

And ive got a copy of XPHome im gonna stick on it.


PS
I placed an order of basicly what i posted in first post, last sunday (28th) and they gave me an error so i canceled it, turns out the credit card sharer had bought his 2 sons quead bikes. But today i received a delivery of a athlon 64 3200+ and the anti static wrist band, so hopefully i havnt been charged and theyve made a fk up and gave me it for free. If the other stuff comes, even more free stuff!, if not, theres an extra £110 to spend on everything else except CPU, so 2GB RAM instead of 1GB itll be

the soundcard you have at the mo will be better than the onboard sound

Anyone know if itll damage my system / gfx card if it failed to flash the bios to 16 pipelines?

Also

How long would this CPU be expected to last non overclocked? Im thinking of overclocking a bit, but would need to know the CPU would last atleast 4 years.
Can u overclock gfx cards and ram, im sure i read you could, if so how long would they last if overclocked.

Any good reads on overclocking anywhere?
