  ***Notice the Heatpiped Heatsink? Looks kind of like Aerocool and Thermaltakes Heatpipe Heatsinks. Ive given a LOT of hard thought into purchasing a Gen 3. And with this thought came research...research into the 925x chipset, research into PCIe vs. AGP vga's, and research into socket 754 vs. socket 939's. This is what all my collective research has taught me. 1. Amd FX53 s939 will shread ANY Prescott or Northwood at Stock Speeds, hell even when overclocked to a point. 2. Asus K8V 3. AGP will still have VGA's made for them thru 2005. 4. I will NEVER buy a Branded PC again, No more locked Bios, No more Locked memory timings, no more non-atx parts, No More Useless Operating Systems. 5. Building a PC would save a HELL of a lot of Money. T.RoW |

With all of that said, I still enjoyed the overall experience of learning about the XPS and it's design flaws, and finding the solutions. Will I repeat? Yep, with some help from s939 and Next-Next Gen VGA's.

 Nice Score! You should have no trouble running any game/app for quite sometime. Dont quote me on that. The nice thing about these New 925x based systems is players can see me PWN them with good Frame rates.  T.RoW
