Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Haha, I'll do what I can. I'll try and get the initial benchmarks runs done tonight with stock setup; then I'll swap in the new HDDs, RAM and do some driver tweaking once I've got vista installing nicely (my respawn discs likely wont work because of no raid drivers preinstalled; guess it'll depend if there's a fresh reinstall option or not; if not then I'll have to do some testing to see exactly what version of Vista I can get installed) and re-benchmark. Still not sure what drivers Im going to use with the cards; but theres likely to be some furious testing over the weekend to find what does and doesn't work, and I'll get 'optimised run' benches run for early next week.
Once I've got my new processor in the next month or two; I'll then go on to see what the clock difference makes; and see what I can get out of the clocking side; once I've applied fresh thermal paste etc.
Don't mind putting the results in this thread or a new one; your choice.
Was considering doing a 3d/pcmark vantage run before and after the RAM and HDD setup was installed; however then there becomes FARRRRR too many variations
So, your honest opinions, will I be happy?
