It was all standard settings.  I will check out orthos.  I'm using 3d mark.  So far everything is running fine.  I should be able to start decoding messages shortly...

Oh yeah, the CPU is a Q6600.  I haven't decided if SLI is a gimmick to sell more graphics boards.  I wanted a system that would stay current for a bit.  The way things are moving that could change next week.  I debated about going to an intel chipset due to the problems I've had.  If this board causes me problems I will.

3dmarks, especially 03 and 05 will give you a good idea of overall stability, but as a nerd, I like to make sure with memtest(10 loops of test 5), a set of 3d marks, and orthos for at least 10 hours. If it passes this, you are stable as stable can be.
But please disregard this, I'm just a dumb-a$$

SLI is like that cartoon/commericial with Trix the rabbit.
Silly rabbit, SLI is for kids.
That 8800 GPU will do you perfectly when pushed up against any game( ok except crysis, whcih is brutla on any card let alone SLI)
You have more than enough hardware and OS for anythin to worry about for the time being.
Kick back and enjoy your PC, it's a top-end powerhouse.

Screen size is irrelevant for the most part.
For instance,
I run a native reso of 1360x 768 and play games like Oblivion(game that requires ALOT od CPU and Video memory)
on a 32 inch HDTV monitor using a cheapo- $30 video card
The 8800 gts 320 mb card
will play that game on max settings at 1900 x 1200 reso easy.
For playing WitP, my cheapo card will play it just fine on your system and lesser ones like mine.
I have the Asus P5B- Deluxe
and
Intel E6600 Conroe
along with 2 GB OCZ RAM
fortron source 700w power supply

compared to your quad-core/8 GB RAM and vista 64, you make me look like trying to defend Pearl on that fateful day.
Both can handle AE just fine though.

Nice hardware, how have you set up your RAM timings?
SPD default or have you entered them manually?
Can you take a screenie of cpu-z?
Have you made it through several hours of gaming without any trouble?
Reason I ask is you said earlier you had trouble being stable with that eVGA board.
Have you heard of orthos? that is a great program to test your PC for stability.
It gives it a real work-out.
I don't really like your power supply though, thermaltakes are a little on the cheaply built side.



Is this a coded message? Does it really mean that the KB is steaming off of San Francisco at this very moment?



If the KB is just off San Fran. than it can safely be disregarded No matter what Gem's codes claim.

Thanks for all your input.  It is appreciated, and never disregarded!

Of course for everyone else, the release date for AE was locked inside our coded messages, but you can disregard that one.

Here is some of the info you asked for.

Ram is 4-4-4-12.
SPD is left on AUTO. The power supply is Antec 850watt. I don't feel like a beheading, so just disregard this.   I thought the system had an Themaltake 850.

K, you shouldn't have any problems with antec, they are alot better than thermaltake.
as for your timings, leave em on auto, especially when running your rig at stock speeds.
Have fun with it.

I am patiently waiting to get WITP, and AE.  I'm going to take the never ending plunge into Davy Jones's Locker.  Since I teach school I will be off this summer, and figured I would have LOTS of time to learn the simulation, or at least scratch the surface.
