It was time to do an upgrade on the PC after getting a good run out of the box I had built in KL. Now refitted with a core i7 860, new gigabyte P55 mobo and 8Gb G.Skill ripjaws DDR3 1600 RAM. Can even team the dual LAN ports on the MOBO for a 2 Gbps connection.
Windows 7 seems to have handled the hardware change without a complete reinstall so cheers to that.
And I am now USB 3.0 ready as well. Just need to save up for an SSD to get all the windows experience scores over 7 as the caviar is now the bottleneck.
First build since I came back as they do it for free in KL and looked a bit daunting but in the end not that hard and runs a lot quicker with that quad core.
Now e-bay or a second build with the leftovers ?
can also burn a CD in just over 2 minutes ;)

Haha Just can't understand why you need such 'powerful' machine, perhaps I am not a gamer.
Still faithful to my clan, PC?? cis :-P
