Yes spending $4,000.00 is one way to improve your frame rates.

Im thinking the OP is looking for ways to improve performance with the rig he currently has.

Funny thing is a rig like yours costs a little over $2,5k now :hmm:

Uh, where the heck did you find $2.5K for that rig?

I'm within $10 of $2.5K after the CPU, Video Card, RAM, PSU, and Motherboard. I don't think you're going to be able to pay for the rest of the stuff for $10.

I know prices right now since I just got a computer with similar spec to clayp:

Intel QX6800 @ 2.93 Ghz
2 x EVGA 8800 GTX in SLI
4 GB (4 x 1 GB) Corsair DDR2 800 PC2-6400
Asus P5N-E nForce 650i SLI Mobo
Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
Tagan 1100 Watt PSU
1 TB (2 x 500 GB SATA II HDDs in RAID 0)
500 GB SATA II Storage HDD
18X Dual Layer DVD/R/RW
16X DVD/R
Vista Home Premium
CoolerMaster Stacker 830

Is that Vista Home Premium 64 bit so you can take advantage of your 4GB memory? I also have 4 GB memory but am running XP 32 bit so I don't get the full boat advantage...so I've heard and read...

I've got Vista Home Premium 32-Bit for now. I thought about getting 64-bit, but there are still problems with it and I'll upgrade when those get sorted out.

Besides, the computer is still as fast as a cheetah on speed.
