    New build this week

    WOOHOO! Just built my new system (Tuesday).

    -New parts-
    Phenom II X4 810 2.6 GHz AM3 (OC'd to 2.9-being conservative here) Running stable at idle 33 C
    8 GB OCZ Gold DDR3 1333 MHz
    Jetway HA08-LF AM3 board
    Sapphire Radeon 4850 HD

    -Old parts-
    M-Audio Audiophile 2496
    2 X Western Digital Green 1 TB
    2 X Western Digital Blue 500 GB
    2 x LG DVDR/CD drives
    BFG 650 watt PSU

    Up from Opteron 185 2.6 GHz/4 GB system I built in 2007

    A very satisfactory build. First time I have ever thrown one together and had it started on the first try. Usually it's a pain.

    Should be good for another 2 years.

    Oh yeah...
    Vista experience 5.6 (limited by the HD's...everything else 5.9)

    Win7 Experience 5.9 (ditto)
    Processor 7.2
    Memory 7.9
    Graphics 6.5
    3D Graphics 6.5
    Hard Drive 5.9

    Price for new parts was ~ $540 Not too shabby.
