Shame to put all that RAM to waste running on XP

Didn't really think of that, but I guess I'll have to wait to get the full benefits once the next Windows OS comes out. I can always upgrade but I rather not.

Anyway do you happen to know about the HDD thing?

Looks like a very powerful machine you got there. I'm not sure about the HDD but I'm pretty sure Ben will have an answer for you when he sees this thread

The average transfer rate is about 70 MB/sec. The seek times are in the 5ms range.

btw are you planning on overclocking the snot out of the cpu because that's one of the most expensive air coolers in the market. You could use a cooler that cost half as much and still get great thermal performance.

did someone say velociraptor?

Excellent question!

Not now, but at least I'll have the option. honestly I didn't know, I just thought I needed that one for this processor.

I've heard they run a little hot when overclocked but not that bad. The stock cooler is definitely not up to cooling an overclocked i7 but there are cheaper alternatives than the thermalright. Don't worry though you'll be more than happy with that cooler.
