I gave it an 8, it's almost exactly the same as mine lol. The only difference is I have a Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66ghz overclocked to 3.4ghz and 1700mhz FSB lol and I have 3GB of ram. I love the overclocking on the core 2 duos, hopefully the quad will do the same. Nice pc overall tho :)
p.s. I built mine for around $500 LOL got some really good deals

NICE, the over clocking with the core 2 duo makes the speed around 6.8 ghz

But since mine's quad core mine adds up to 9.6 ghz since the workload is split :)

Then again...it's not worth the extra 500 bucks lol

Question: Is that dell [create-your-own-PC] thing good at all? Never tried it, but not the biggest fan of dell.

Ahhh i love math. Your calculations looks simple right? Well its not so easy. The E6750 performs better than your Q6600. :wink:

Doesn't work that way. Not simple math like that. Its a decent computer, could build the same for about $800 with quality parts and not skimping on things.

Because you didn't get dual channel ram.

I bought mine from Crucial. At the moment 2x2GB dual channel DDR2 800MHz goes for $150

+1 To the RAM... 2x1gb sucks either buy a single 2gb or 2x2gb
And the GFX could have had a bit more memory...:S

Anybody know a good brand of memory that I should buy to upgrade this?

Apparently you guys think 2 gb isn't enough so I did some more looking around...

checked through newegg and this seems like a winner
