Crashing and stablilty problem

Narrowed it down to three!

Ryan: I did consider that board but it blows out my price range completly! I am dissapointed I cannot wait for dual 16x boards to become a little more affordable. At the moment it's selling at ~$450. Then again....(maybe if I find something under my bed to eBay!) Does the A8N32-SLI have any...

Performance Problems

Cool thanks for that :) it's a pain when I didn't have any resources to check my own scores, as my friends PC's have quite different configs. I got the latest nforce drivers, which I forgot about, and that seemed to have helped with the stability of Total War. I played it for a whole 5...
