1. I did not see a soundcard listed. Are you just using the onboard sound? If so, any complaints?
2. Dual video cards but no cooling system other that what Dell calls "standard"? If you got standard cooling with that case is it proving adequate?
@You techies. Some here recommended the I7 intel processor. For strictly gaming comparison, doesnt a high end duo core do as well or does it depend on which I7 you get? Are there game titles that actually take advantage of a quad core?
To give me a base, compare these 2 ...for gaming.
core 2 E8500 vs a Core 2 Q8300
Any advantage at all for this quad over the duo core?
Building my own just isn't an option. 
.......thanks in advance.  |

Onboard, I believe, but works the same, AFAICT.

Yes, I can play games all night, and the system seems fine (what is that red glow coming from under the desk...?) It is very quiet, but I suppose it is working ok.
