4 GB 800 MHz RAM.
Windows 7 x64
9800 GTX+
C2D E8400 (stock 3.0 Ghz*)
*I would try overclocking, but the voltage
requirements for stability go way up with a 3.6
o/c and i'm not sure what kind of voltage is
safe with a 1.25 vID. (measured by CoreTemp)
Even at a Core Voltage of 1.208 (measured by
CPU-Z) a 3.6 overclock doesn't seem fully
stable, and I'm not sure how high is safe.
I was wondering how this system will fare for
running games at full speed. I'm sure it won't
run them all, but I'm specifically interested in
demanding games.
(Persona 3, Final Fantasy XII, etc.)
