Nice rig. Let me know if you run into any issues with the X2 and if you come up with the fixes. I have the 4400 and some games do not work well with it. Its that whole set affinity thing.
Details! You mean multi-threaded games choke? I hope not. That'd get me a little upset.
The main thing I wanted was the sli setup. After reading a ton about it I realized this x800 (while good) isn't going to run the next gen stuff coming out.

Or just do a google search on X2 stutter, X2 jerkiness, X2 affinity, etc.. You can also read lots about it on AMD's forums, but, according to their tech support it is a Windows and/or application problem. They told me to use the "set affinity" method or use the programs that do it for you.

Hmmm.....I will look into it as well. I said at the beginning of the year I wanted a dual core by winter and here I am.
BTW, I am now an AMD connoisseur. Intel is too hot, too pricy, and too slow.
