Thats a good question. I don't think you would have a problem as long as you get another dual channel set...you might see some stability issues just as you would see by going 4x1gb instead of 2x2.. I would honestly recommend - if you really need more ram - just go with a new 2x2gb configuration and ...

I suppose Asus Maximus is my best bet...no SLI support but I guess I can live without it.

The reason I wanted the whole range is because I have a 1066mhz Q6600 that I would initially install...but would like to have the option to get a 1600mhz dual core chip sometime in the future. so the asus maximus formula mobo fills that role but it doesn't support SLI....while I'm not sure If I will...

I noticed there are a few motherboards introduced that have 1600/1333/1066/800 mhz FSB support (Asus Maximus series) but are there any motherboards that support the full range of FSB and have SLI copabilities? I'm curious because I think my motherboard is faulty (I havent narrowed down the problem q...

I totally forgot I have lightscribe on my burner...from the sounds of it its not worth the hassle to invest in "special" discs

It's just a simple manner of $$/performance an 8800gts alone is ~350 bucks not as good as the 3870 alone which is ~450 bucks which isn't nearly as good as 2 8800gts which is ~700 bucks I typically stick with one videocard setups but I gotta admit that the 8800gt in SLI config is a really good price/...

WD, Seagate, Samsung, Maxtor, ...all good companies in my opinion. I personally only buy WD because they are usually the cheapest. You can easily get a 500gb HD for only 100 bucks nowadays online.

Overclocking aside the superclocked editions are typically not worth the extra performance...you definitely wont see a very big difference in newer games like Crysis and Bioshock (maybe 1-3 fps is my guess)

Since you already have a nice video card..I think your best bet is to get another XFX 8800gt to go along with it...It sounds like you were ready to burn some more money. I noticed the P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP does not have SLI support so you would have to get a new mobo as well, but as far as cost/perform...

I'm pretty sure Memtest+ is more widely used...but I suppose people have their preference for everything.

I have previous experience with memtest+ when I was diagnosing some bad samsung pc-2100 ddr ram and it was able to figure out which stick was going bad.

Wow! That's an awesome prize. I'm impressed. Count me in!

I'm waiting on the Yorkfield quad processor. should be a huge improvement....also...this allows time to see what AMD has to offer too. There isn't a need for quad-processing at this very moment.

I think that's terrible advice.

qx6700, 2.66ghz, 2 x4mb cache --> $970
q6600, 2.4ghz, 2 x 4mb cache --> $541

have fun wasting $429 on 266mhz...and even more if you seriously plan on getting the qx6800

also 3200+ is the highest that socket will go unless you overclock since Socket A ranged from 600 MHz (Duron) to 2333 MHz (Athlon XP 3200+)

You should have Socket A. Which has been discontinued and replaced

You will need to have Socket AM2 for dual-core sadly.

oh awesome. I will do that. thanks for the input guys!

7-zip also does 7z files which I think is another great way for compressing files that can be used by anybody.

Wow! thats nuts. Ill have to get my hands on some Shin-Etsu X23

I'm loving the variety nVidia is giving us these days. I will be wanting a new rig in fall and I really dont want to spend more than 300 bucks...but I suppose I'll have options for some pretty high end stuff.

I have an HP ze4400 laptop that says it has a 2400+ athlon xp on it...does that mean it is a mobile version of the athlon xp 2400+ or can desktop cpus be used in laptops sometimes?
