I just build a new rig and am just now starting to play with her.
I use to be 100% an AMD guy but i am trying the intel dual core for the first time. With the reviews i have read and the experience thus far i am really impressed. I also went out on a limb with the video card and went Nvidia instead of Ati (i use to be Ati fan as well). I traded out my Ati 2900Pro 1GB for the OC'ed XFX 8800GTX and holy @#$% the difference.
Specs
On XP Home
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R rev.2
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.2 --24/7 OC
Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB PC2 6400 4-4-4-8 @ 2.2v
XFX 8800GTX Extreme 768MB 600/1900
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX
Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200 RPM
These are my mild-24/7 clocks at the moment. I wanted to see where i could get the CPU without touching the Vcore and at the same time having it be stable as possible. Running @ 3.2 VS default 2.66 seems to be rock solid. I have had it under stress for about 12 hrs with no problems (heat or artifacts). I am getting ready to start bumping the vcore and see where she takes me.
