8800 gts 640 mb
sound blaster extreme music x-fi
250 gb hd
plus a new case.
One of the reasons i wanted to upgrade the mobo was if i got a sli board they are a bit bigger and allow more room between video cards and sound cards,for better cooling,As it is right now my video card is about a inch or 2 above the sound card which isnt good for airflow.The second reason was i cant see the temps for my cpu as the bios do not support it.Make no mistake this pc runs silenthunter without a hitch.Just looking to improve as i know us hardcore gamers are always looking for the next best thing.
Oh ya i have upgraded the cpu as i have said to a 64 x2 5400 as hp said its as far as was tested,Iwas wondering if i could use a 64 x2 6000 2mb cache,Anyone try that on a pavillion a1626n .or can it be done?
Thanks guys.

One more question guys( I like to ask in here as there are no doubt alot of smart pc guys here)When i use 2gb of ram i get a score of 5.9 for ram under vista performance score,but when ii use 3gb .1 gb sticks.My score drops to a 4.5 because it not in dual channel mode i guess?Anyway i am going to buy another 1gb stick for a total of 4 x1gb sticks will this but me back in dual channel mode?Is it better to use 2gb of ram in dual channel or 3gb in single channel?
Thanks a million .
