What Do You Use?

Stick with Vista for gaming at the moment.

I read your other thread and it seems that your not quite satisfied with your performance. Your also 13 and a Gamer, so I'm wondering why you have 12GB of ram. It's not helping you game faster and it's not like your designing any massive works of art (just guessing) that would require you to need 12GB.

Your system should be, or could be, performing quite simular to mine. I saw Alienware so what heatsink did they use? Can you show us a picture? Your system should be able to run at 3.8-4Ghz no problem. But populating all the memory slots to have 12GB of ram could be limiting your overclockibility. I also have (2) GTX 280's and they don't really shift into high gear until you get your cpu up to 3.8Ghz or higher.

If you take the side panel off to take a picture, look at the mobo real good and see if you can't find a Manufacturer Name and Model number for us 2 :D

Oh, I am satisfied. I was just wondering. :snob: I don't even know how to overclock.

I have 12GB RAM because it came with the computer.

Also, I have a XML document of my system information. It says someone elses name because she is the woman that helped buy the computer.
