LOL my 6600 is running fine at 3.4 has been since the day i built the machine, and its still on stock volts. A slow proc.????????
A 2.4 oced to 3.4 on stock voltage? That's quite amazing. I did about the same with my P4 2.4 but OC'd it to 3.0. I have never been able to do that again though and it came back to haunt me since it ate up the thermal paste and shut down my computer for about 2 weeks before I checked the processor.

nvidia 8800GTX and a e6600? Superior Grfx with a slow processor? What were you smoking whenyou made your comp?Are you kidding? How is the E6600 a slow cpu? You've got to be joking. My E6600 is faster than a x6800 out of the box. Of course it's OC'd slightly, but still. The E6600 is one of the best cpu's out right now, especially for the price. Most gamers would agree that spending more money on the Gfx card and a little less on the cpu is the right decision to make if you can't afford to spend $4k for a gaming computer. Lol just said that to stir up an Intel fanboy. On a side note I have yet to find a game that doesn't work on vista (except Simcity 4, but havent tested it yet on my full release copy)

Yea i had my P4 oc'd from 3.2 to 3.6 on stock voltage but that was as high as it would go and still be stable.

| Vista x64 doesn't seem to like me overclocking my x2 4400 without a voltage increase. I can get it from 4.4 to 4.8 on stocl voltage on XP, with a temp of 42 degrees on idle. Vista fails to start with this overclock on stock voltage. Instead a little raise was needed, runs like a dream now.

| Games ran like absolute crap on my old box (Intel 3.0, ATI X700, 1.5GB Corsair RAM) with vista while XP ran them smoothly jacked up high in graphics. Funny that in CS:S with Vista, i would have better FPS with higher graphics than lower.
My new system (Asus P5n32E-SLI MB, E6600 CPU, nVidia 7950GT, 1GB 800Mhz Corsair Ram) runs games great in vista, i love it

| Meh, I have installed and played Oblivion, and to be honest, its seems the same as it was running on XP.
E6600, 7900gt top, 965p-dq6, 2 gb ddr2, vista home premium and heaps of other stuff.
Everything I have installed seems to work so far, I don't understand what the rants about vista are about, it seems fine to me. |

| I agree, so far i haven't had any problems either. With games or anything else for that matter. I think part if not all problems are because of drivers. Some ppl don't realize that just cause they just bought a new computer with VISTA preinstalled that the computer was actually built last year and they still need to update the drivers.
