Not sure how long this will last. CPU is 379 and the board is an ECS Nforce4 board and it is free with the CPU if you factor in the fact that the CPU is 380 bucks by itself.

now that I have actually gotten mine working properly, I'd advise you guys to jump on this is you're in the market for an upgrade...

 

the processor DOES NOT QUIT... and I have currently overclocked it to 2.4 Mhz and it's stable/cool as can be.

wow I kind of want to upgrade, if Im going to, this looks like the deal, but I need a video card

I honestly do not think the 6800 cards are a good deal for this community. Most people in this community are CS:S players and soon DOD:S players. The ATI cards are better and as I've seen lately, Nvidia is having many random issues with Source based games and the 6600-6800 cards. My recommendation is buy at your own risk.

well the issue that i "HAD" was a MoBo bios issue and not the problem of the card... as I said in the other thread, as soon as that was fixed, Source ran like I didn't even think was possible.. in fact... on HIGH EVERYTHING, I'm now getting more FPS in Source than I am in 1.6. I don't see any problems with the nVidia cards.

the ECS motherboards arent that great... when I worked at frys we would budle them with the CPUs for free and drop the price of the CPU. I remember the socket A cpu we had was the k7vta3 and I think we had over 50 of them that had been returned just laying around the store haha. The quaility of the ECS boards arent very consistant, sometimes they just break... I had 2 of them and they worked ok.
