I can't speak for dual cores, but my Sempron 64 (754) overclocked with no aftermarket anything... only some case fans and it runs slightly above it's normal (un-overclocked) temps ...

-- .4GHz Overclock --

I tried going up a tiny bit with stock cooling and the system became very unstable, it would boot up and logon and then freeze. It would not stop until I reset the clock frequeny to factory setting
That doesn't sound like a temperature problem. Did you increase the voltage enough?

I have no intention of overclocking the system. It runs just fine without any adjustments. What I really love about it all is that I manage to get the entire thing for less than US$ 800.

Sweeeet.....

Case: Thermaltake Kandalf LCS
Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower 600W
Motherboard: ASUS P5N32-E SLI
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo e6750 (running chillingly at 20' C stock speeds)
RAM: Corsair TwinX PC-6400C4 2gig kit
HDD: Seagate 320GB 16MB cache SATAII

And to top it all of...

I'll grab some pics sometime next week when I either get a Razer Tarantula + Razer Deathadder (or Copperhead), or Logitech G15 and G5, and probably a decent 7.1 Sony camera to replace the old crappy DSE camera I have. It's either the camera or a couple of games... tough choice : P

Oh.... it's "only using 54%" ..... riiiiight. That'd weewee me off completely if just the OS took more than half my ram.

Anyways, Razer Barracuda HP-1 Headphones will be here tomorrow or late this afternoon :)

Okay..... so, Razer Barracuda HP-1 Headphones are like.... having a party, on your ears and yes, they bloody rock.
Time to save for the Samsung tv now, and then it'll be time to buy some more stuff.

Purchases afterward will be:
Speakers: Logitech Z-5500
8900-series might be out by then.
Soundcard: Razer Barracuda AC-1 (might get it, not sure as it's not like there's anything wrong with the one that came with my P5N32-E SLI)

Besides that I don't know....

Upgrade report

Went from
AMD XP 2400+, 1.5GB DDR/400
to
AMD64 X2 5600, 2GB DDR2/800

Which means new motherboard, cpu and ram modules. Also opted for an extra-fast raid setup for a system drive, which had been my biggest problem since some of my work duties require lots and lots of drive bandwidth (not so much space). Not a problem anymore having bought two Western Digital 36GB Raptor drives (10000rpm, 16MB, 4-6 ms seek times) and set them up as RAID-0. Cost a heck of a lot though...ouch (120€ a piece).

Well, though I'm only 16, I've worked with computers my whole life, due to the fact that my dad is an IT professional (bringing home older micronotebooks since I was 6 or 7)

But, since micronotebooks cant do much (IBM X series and Dell Latitude C400 mainly), I decided to go ahead and order this laptop:

Acer Travelmate 6460-6752

Chipset: Intel Centrino Duo (Napa Platform, Mobile Intel 945PM Express Chipset
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (Merom, Socket M): (2.0GHz, 667 MT/s FSB)

Hard Drive: 160 GB SATA, 5400 RPM
Graphics Processing Unit: ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 (128 MB dedicated graphics memory, up to 512 MB shared graphics + system memory)
Display: 15.4" widescreen WSXGA+ display, up to 1680 x 1050 Resolution

Weight: 6.4 lb
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (6460-6752)


It's ok for most games, not Alienware level lol.

What do you guys think?

YAY! I'm gonna install a 500GB Seagate SATA 7200RPM HD because my dad didn't want it.

I have no idea what I'm going to fill it with. I'll probably copy my games on it first. :mrgreen:
