Got the ram installed HD installed, cloned and is now my primary and my old 400Gb is disconnected but still has Vista installed just in case
V/C... that's a different story It is ALMOST too LONG! if it were another 1mm it would not fit. Anyway I installed it and my PC will not Post
I'm tired and fixin' to go to bed, I'll deal with it tomorrow.

Hmm.... maybe a loose connection somewhere?

I got it

Glad you got it sorted... Come November/December I'm thinking of going over to ATI and getting a 4870 as price compared to performance blows the Nvidia offering away. Coupled with a 45nm quad and a new mobo I'll be able to upgrade for around £400. Then with the parts I'm using now I'll build another machine and sell that for £200 (which isn't bad for a 3.2GHz dual-core chip and a 8800GTS) so all in all if everything goes to plan then this years upgrade will be relatively inexpensive..

The 3870 OCs better than any ATI card I've ever had.

Here's my shot.. As you can see I have mine clocked a tad too....

That's a Lil' more than a tad

Runs great too... It will clock well past that too but obviously I want the card to have some longevity so I keep it where it is.. In fact I've never really pushed it to see how far it will go as I'm satisfied with what it delivers already..
