1. Intel D975XBX BadAxe v1.
2. Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 at 3.1Ghz
3. ATI X1900XTX 512MB
4. 2GB Apacer at 533 w/ o/c
5. 2 - Seagate 7200rpm SATA in RAID 0 + 320GB Seagate SATA, 500GB USB External drive for backups
6. Pretty generic.
7. Scythe Mine
8. 400W Sparkle PSU.
9. Vista Business Edition x32.

Probably about a 8/10 for me.  If I had some extra money I'd probably sell some parts and try to kick up the overclock a bit more.  Games is a secondary operation for me so it does pretty much everything else as well as I could expect it to.

2) E6600 @ 4.0GHz (Scythe Ninja+)

No offence, but; I would like to see some proof.

A graph produced by OCCT would be perfect.

4.0 would be an extreme overclock for sure.  I can see it booting at that speed on air, but stable?

Exactly, if it is stable, it's hot, and maybe throttling, which could be another reason it's stable. That would be hindering performance though.

I have the B2 of the E6600, also one of the best steppings (can't remember now what is it).

Im running at 440*9 with 1.45 Vcore. Getting 60 on load.

I've seen people run 4.0GHz on lower Vcores on the Sycthe Ninja+ but mainly got higher temps.

If I had the 965P and some better RAM for overclocking, I'd probably overclock my system and be more satisfied.

[4L3X]

1) Something intel
2) Intel. (really sucks, so I won't post details)
3) Intel again (that says a lot;  I run fs9 with high settings, and fsx with medium settings, amazingly)
4) 1 GB of ram, at 667Mhz, its PNY
5)A fujitsu, 80GB
6)It's a laptop...
7) Laptop, so yeah...... tiny little fan  
8) Again (sights), its a laptop.
9) Windows Vista Home Premium

P.S.  I know the system sucks (for now, I WILL get another one) but as I said, I run fs9 with high settings ( I get about 30fps) and fsx with low to medium high settings (I get about 25fps)

[Luke_Harvest]

@ Pip. It ran Orthos on Small FFTs for Over 8 hours.

@ Mango. No I didn't use a Voltmod but I've had a few freezes and crashes since I've cranked it up to that and probably tomorrow im going to lower it until it becomes 100% stable

Temps are real nice as well but I recently got a TJ-09 which has much better cooling over the NZTX Apollo and has bought my CPU and GPU temps down by a lot.
