TY....best component on my system is Norton Ghost 2003Paired with 2 HD's makes a person almost infection proof....well at least 2-3 mins away from a clean machine. UNLIKE system restore, which only merges the previous restore point with the current state of the machine....it completely OVERWRITES my Windows install on my primary HD with a backup from my secondary HD.
WARNING: NG2003 must be updated TWICE to work with the new CPUS, and doesnt seem to work at all on machines that have a pfft "recovery partition".
As to my machine....its currently running at 3.2ghz ....up from its stock 2.6ghz with ONLY air coolingIdle temps are 26C for CPU and 24C for motherboard! AT 100% load and 16 hours stressing CPU and RAM: CPU 53C and motherboard 29C. This current overclock is 16 hours Orthos/Prime stable. Total cost for CPU, motherboard, Zalman and RAM.....$465USD at http://www.newegg.com/Index.aspx 3DMark05 score 12120....in a few months I'm going to put two 8800 GTS (SLI) (512mb version) in this comp!
