I'm jealous, your little sister has a faster rig than I.

BTW, It's not weakness, it's just new, shiny and "I want one, or two"

Looks like a great new rig BioVader. That DFI is a great board and the X2's are the best AMD's ever. Good luck with it.

Hey I;m doing the same thing. Upgraded to PCIE and figured I might as well throw my neo2 into my server rig. I don't have an x800 for it though... 9600xt .

That's great! I'm sure you are not disappointed. I know you had some doubts. Good luck with it.

Ok I'm coming back... I'm going to be putting my X2 in the Neo2 along with the Gskill.. The new gaming system I built was kind of overkill since I need to run 2gig of ram for BF2. Doing so means that the X2 that will overclock to 2.85 is limited because of the ram being crap. So I can only run the CPU at 2.5gig with the OCZ ram running a 166 divider.

So now I'm going to try running the X2 like I said in the Neo as my second system for doing all the other stuff, like encoding and stuff.. I guess..
