[Gareth]

I've recently given the computer another overhaul and its made 5.9 across the board, recent changes were the Q6600 Quad Core CPU (only @ 3.0Ghz at the moment) and 2 x 150GB 10,000 rpm Raptor X drives.

Spec at the moment :

Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit
Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4Ghz (at 3.0Ghz) needs tweaking more
Zalman Cooler
NVidia Coolermaster Stacker Case
Corsair 620W Modular PSU
EVGA n680i Motherboard
4GB OCZ 1066Mhz SLI Ready Memory
2 x 150GB 10,000RPM WD Raptor X HDDs RAID 0
768MB XFX 8800GTX 1900MHz
2 x 20" Samsung Widescreen Monitors

How much did that little lot set u back?

 

[Gareth]

to be honest, I hate to start counting, monitors, hdds and quad cpu are in the region of £800 alone, the initial setup (Dual Core, 2GB memory was £1300 over a year ago, not inc the expensive Nvidia case)

 

[Ady182]

Ouch! But quality though

 

[David]

wicked, same as me. although if i'm honest, looks bloody noisey!

Have the same case with even more fans in it...the PS3 makes more noise while reading a disk than the PC does.

 

[Gareth]

yeah big 120mm fans that aren't that loud.

 

[MrBean90]

very nice system you got there, my mates got a decent system and makes me laff when ya see the size of the fan jsut for the graphics cards, that shows how powerful the badboy is!

Awesome, bought my computer back last year when you where looking for your new one. I get 5.5 on mine, think the HDD lets it down a bit.

Love the monitors, really need to sort a new one out for me

 

[David]

FYI i get 5.9 on my WD 500gigx2 RAID 0. don't need raptors for 5.9

 

[Leeshez]

What an amazing set up

Well ner, I've got 4x74Gb Raptors in RAID0 and get around 450MB/sec disk throughput. And I've had 5.9 on Vista scale for a year, i'm keen for them to extend it to see the results.

System spec:
Intel Core2 Q6600 G0-stepping 2.4Ghz @ 3.8Ghz/1.4v vCore (Watercooled)
4Gb OCZ Reaper HPC DDR-1066 @ 1333/2.2v
eVGA nVidia GeForce 9800GX2 SSC @ 700Mhz/2200Mhz (Watercooled)
AMCC/3Ware 9690SA SAS/SATA-II RAID controller, 512Mb Cache w/BBWC
4x74Gb Western Digital Raptor 10,000RPM disks RAID-0 (System/Boot, these drives are the later NCQ-capable drives w/16Mb cache)
4x1Tb Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 7,200RPM disks RAID-5 (Data, w/32Mb cache)
Asus Maximus Formula X38 Motherboard (watercooled NB/SB/Mosfets)
Auzentech X-Fi Prelude

No probs! mine's running Vista Business 32-bit SP1. Unless you're running MORE than 4Gb, then 64-bit actually COSTS you performance and memory as the 64-bit extensions use more memory than you 'lose' by running 32-bit...

 

[David]

wtf?! who is asking you these questions?

 

[Mike_182]

Sorry, was aimed as a general pointer for people. Feel free to put your handbag down and step back if you're taking offence, as you appear to be slightly disturbed by my input...

 

[David]

your so weird, everytime a pc spec is posted, you have to start crticising or sticking your spec in, who the f**k cares. Stop trying to hijack, anyone who is interested already knows what spec your running, well done, sure your mum will give you a medal.

And in future when you start giving out your 'general pointers' you might want to think about posting a source instead of tihnking everyone just believes what you put down on a forum thread.
