im saying when the computer goes to sleep(or stand by mode) after not being in use, it doesnt come back on when you hit a button on the key board, so i have to restart it. And when you restart the computer it everything comes back on fine.

For the past week or so when i try to wake up my computer the monitor wont come back on, i can here all the fans start back up and everything else seems to be booting up fine, but im guessing the video card isnt booting. Now i can restart the computer and it all comes back up fine. And as of now...

if gaming i would say 3800+ non X2 would be better becuase games arent 2 threads, although office work, multitasking, etc the X2 would benefit. the 3800+ is 2.4 GHZ and the 3800+X2 is 2GHz, the extra 400 MHz will help alot in gaming and get good performance ram, like Crucial Ballistix

might i suggest getting only 1 gig of ram, and an Athlon 3800+, the reason being 99% of games now days wont see any improvement, i saw some benchmarks done on it and the only increase were from 0-5 fps, ill see if i can find the article

just $300(free 2 day S&H) at zipzoom, 460/1100, copper heatsink, can you believe just last july EVGA 6800GTs costed $325 http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=322749 same at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130256

9.5 K doesnt sound right for that system, i think it should be more, that sounds more like an SLI 6800GT systme.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143044 That is one massive price tag wouldnt you say, and only $1500 out of your pocket if you want SLI. How many people actually buy these cards.

i think he'd be fine getting an Asus A8N-SLI $133

might i suggest XP Home OEM (non retail version) for $91, unless theres a solid reason for the need for Pro i think the extra $50 you save would be better spent getting a 7800GT intead of an x800 xl, wheres your Power supply. Also you might want to think about a SLI mobo(if you get the nvidia...

I made the freshman A Basketball Team (there are 2 teams A & B, A being the better one)
