Im really jealous

**NightshadowUK** · 01-06-2006, 10:30 PM

Wait a few days and you'll be able to get one of the new 16MB cache 74GB Raptors, aside from that, bling bling!

Is the HSF ok for the chip or should i get something with a little more 'meat'

**vaio** · 01-06-2006, 10:38 PM

If not overclocking the stock sink should be fine.
Though I would get a better sink that could take a larger fan.....pref 120mm.

**NightshadowUK** · 01-06-2006, 10:49 PM

P.S. Have a got a beasty set of speakers to take advantage of zee X-Fi?

**jackvdbuk** · 01-06-2006, 11:00 PM

imo i very very nice setup, but a better HSf would be better, thermal right XP-90C, and imo the X1900XT or XTX would be better

**deeloughran** · 02-06-2006, 12:23 AM

WOW!! wish i could say i am able to afford this kind of kit with my new rig in the summer...how much this all set you back?

**Drobbins** · 02-06-2006, 08:59 AM

How about upping the monitor to a 24"? SLI would have fun with all those pixels

Tha tkind breaks the bank the dell 24" screen costs almost 900 squid i think the 20" will do for now

Edit: Iam not sure about the ram iam thinking two 512 Corsair dims Here they have better timings.

**ajones** · 02-06-2006, 09:41 AM

Don't worry too much about the timings. The better general performance boost you'll see with 2G will swamp any benchmark improvement you'll see with tighter memory timings.
