You have a super great system configuration, and there are no any problems with your gaming, grapic design, web design and 3d cad.

Regarding the configuration, it's perfect, very good! It will be able to do many things, just like Kenny said.

Kenny just told me that you will need to remove either the X-FI sound card or the Ageia PhysX card because your dual 8800ULTRA's will only leave enough space for 1 PCI device.

and I recommend losing the PhysX card because there is not much use for it.  The 8800Ultra's are plenty enough for physics and the sound card will add more framerates because of the onboard ram.

didnt know that about the size of the ultras.

another note, what is the real differences between the 6800 and the 6850, from my point of view its just a bit of overclock.
also can d.s. do a dual boot system
 
thanks again

Overclocking can do wonders.

 
We can do a dual-boot, we charge a small fee to make it happen.

about how much for the dual boot,
want pro and ultimate 64, so i have almost unlimited potential for the system.

also on the overclock, with the stage three overclock what is the rating on the cpu and the gpu.
or just like most everything, DEPENDS.
 
Heard that the e6850 can go to 3.8 no problem.

Kenny, if you're doing this build, do me a favor and ship it to me instead of Red....I'm sure he won't mind Evil%20SmileThumbs%20Up


P.S. Get the 4-year coverage instead of the 3....

The fee is $35 and we can get the E6850 to 3.6-3.8GHz.
