New hardware on the way!

Well I finally caved in and decided to retire my tired old 3.0 Ghz P4. 12 FPS on the clones and 25 FPS on the main in the middle of nowhere just doesn't cut it. And that's not to mention the cities. Unfortunately my MB is a bit too old to support a quad core, so I had to upgrade that and RAM as well. Here's what I opted for:

ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Model BX80562Q6600 - Retail
Crucial Ballistix 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT25664AA804 - Retail

Should be quite the performance boost! I'm a bit leery of over clocking, but I might give it a shot with the CPU since a lot of people seem to have success with that. I should be able to get the most out of my GeForce 8800GT in other games (Crysis, Source games, etc) as well.

I'm still debating a bit on what to do for video. I'm just running the 8800GT currently, but I have a perfectly good Radeon X800 lying around too. Not sure if I should just go both monitors on the 8800GT or do one on each card. I'm not looking to buy a new card at all. I guess I will have to see how it works.

Wow I just noticed they lowered the price of that board by $10 since I bought it last night. :cursing: Oh well, that's the way it goes with hardware...

Ive had that happen, but it was on a video card, and it lowered in price by almost $40 dollars, but that system setup you have should get you a few boxes running nicely at at least 40fps on your main.

I swear to god, that lowering of prices pisses me off. You call to ask for the difference and they say no you need to return it, your left like WTF.
