At stock speeds the 3700 and 3500 perform almost identically. Fortunatley that's a good thing as the 3500 still holds it's own in the midrange...

Well I guess highend system requirements might be of some benifit in the long run as companies will actually stuff more than 256MB in their boxes....
Thermaltake is a good brand to start with for quiet, high quality coolers.
:) Happy to help man, anytime.
That's really sweet dude, pretty dial-up friendly too. Very impressive for 10mins too. Might look even cooler if it was more metalic/shiney...
