So I have a powerful gaming rig in my home office. I would like to be able to play certain games in my bedroom using Steam Streaming, but don't want to spend a lot of $$ on a laptop to do just this.. Not really interested in a used laptop, but below are what I am looking for.
Screen size: ~15"...
Ok, I just ran Prime95 for about 4 hours with no problems. I'm guessing my memory is pretty stable....
One question I do have is about the processor temp..
My readings are always between 43 and 48C. It usually reads 43 when I start my PC and around 47 after it's been on for a while. Thing...
I have been running 2-2-2-10 timings fine on my MSI K8N Neo2. I am using 2x 512MB Corsair 3200XL which are rated for 2-2-2-5.
I ran memtest without any problems.
I am going to run Prime 95 now.. Let me know if you want to know any other specific settings I am using....
Thanks everyone
The black plastic hosing are the type that are cut down the middle. I wrapped each end of the hosing with black electrical tape and used black zip-ties to keep it attached to my case where I wanted it. It worked out pretty well. It might of looked a little better with the...

I don't think thats the case.
I have a 74GB Raptor as my Primary Drive and a 200MB Segate as my storage drive.
That little removable drive icon never showed up until I plugged in a Flash memory media card reader into my USB port. But now it's always there and lists both my hard drives even...
Hey RadioHead84
All my stuff came out to just under $2000. Right what my budget called for.
I already have a Sony GDM-F520 monitor and my old 4.1 Klipsch speakers, so I didn't really need to spend money on these things.
I almost the exact setup..
Here is mine, I just put it together and finished last night at 4am (once you get started it's hard not to finish)

eVGA6800GT

1GB XMS XL Cosari pc3200 2-2-2-5

I checked Mwave and I have a tracking number. It should be here tomorrow..
I'm a total dork though, the order I placed with monarch shipped before I could cancel it.... I guess I'm going to suck up the 15% restocking fee and return it, unless anyone else wants it....
I'm glad I bought my 3500 early last week. It's been a pain waiting for the motherboard, I would have gone crazy if I finaly got the Mobo and couldn't find the chip.....
Thanks, If it fits that board, I'm guessing I should be ok. At worst, I'll just return the Zalman if it doesn't work.
I sure do hope the MSI comes out soon, I'm geting tired of waiting......
Speaking of the MSI K8N Neo2, does anyone here think the Zalman 7000Cu fan will fit this thing? It looks like the ram banks might be a little to close.
Just something I was thinking about.
