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.

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
