So in curiousity I put the d9s in my system and i got a stable OC of 468, I couldnt get the 475 but it was proof to me that d9's are the way to go! I would get some new memory but i cant complain about 3.6 q6600 and 800mhz ram, its fast enough, if I could do it again it would be D9's all day

D9s it is!

Because you not building this today. I say get the new 3870 X2 card that's coming out next week. I myself have some Palit 1Gb cards on the way.....
How do you want to cool your system?
Air (I can't see myself going back to air)
Water
Water + TEC if you do it right it can be safe.....must have a relay
Phase which is $$$$

Should I go 2gigs or 4? Many have said 4 because of price.
1400 1:1?
Well, I would like to get peoples opinions that have the cards & if you could find some that would be great! It seems to me, looking at the specs, that the ATI's are better, but many adamantly say they are not. I don't have any way to gauge GFX cards because I have only had one computer & this one has a 6600, which is old! If you guys could get facts for the cards that would also be nice.
Cooling! Oh, I don't know. I am afraid of water. All I know is air. TEC...what is that? Phase...what is that?

I use a custom swiftech system I built and Im really interested in TEC, DaMulta, can you recommend a good CPU block, Im familiar with the extra PS needed along with the relay setup to hook it all in(Swiftech has a great guide with their TEC unit)

Guide me, oh, wise ones!
