The processing power is good, running an AVG scan, playing music in WMP and downloading some stuff on the net didn't slow it all. Still installing games and I'll definately give an update after I play some BF2 and EQ2, maybe some CS:Source too. Only one problem, I ordered a G5 mouse and logitech headset and they didn't come. Oh yeah and the mail system on military bases sucks bad sometimes, not that's Hypersonics fault, but just wanted to vent. Anyway, just wanted to post cause I'm happy. Once I get some gaming in I'll update with some fps and stuff.

Congrats, I've had mine for just a week with the same config.

I wish I had enough time to just fool with setting it up and exploring 24/7, but I'm doing a little at a time between the stuff that gets in the way.

Well I hopped on EQ2 and Oblivion for a bit and it looks pretty good, can't get too much into it cause I can't game with the little mouse pad thing. Once I get that G5 I'll give some good reviews.

MasterSlayer63 is cool enough to have people show up to his/her party!
Congrats!!! Mine is going back to Hypersonic after less than 2 weeks with an unknown screen flicker.

Knowing my luck, it wont happen when it gets there, but it is very noticable.

Will keep everyone updated.

Good Luck, Spikke!! It is an awesomely built rig, must be a glitch in mine though.

Alright, I got the mouse and headset today and I should be getting my BF2 discs from back home tomorrow. I get an internet connection on Friday, so by the end of this weekend I'll have some fps numbers for ya'll. So far, after having it for a bit, I am really enjoying it and have zero complaints. It runs quick and cool and also not a single dead pixel on the screen.

Very nice.

I was on a trip a couple weeks ago and my mic on my high speed headphones was snapped. So I have to go looking for a new set. I have several of the logitech Internet chat ones - but for long term wear, I don't like them So will be looking on the net.

Again - glad that you received your system ok and looking forward to your gaming comments after the weekend!
