Jim! cheers for the reply - No friends i know have a gaming rigs like mine (or similar) so i cant test out the graphics card on theirs. Thanks for the information though mate its really useful.

Yea that's my motherboard it should perform really well i don't get what is wrong with it really...To be honest I always bit disappointed with my build from day one as you probably know - I just think the board was faulty maybe from day one and i did not realise?

Anyway I will take what you said into consideration and try out AMD I will look into a better AMD board then the one I have shown you then give you the info.

Cheers bud!

Jim that Striker II Formula is lovely! jeeze, i bet it costs a fortune!

[liljim]

its an extremely nice board, i was surprised once i saw it. It should be performing way better.

[venney]

Yea i compleltely agree with you, it doesnt seem to make all that much sense does it. Rob, have you decided what your next move is?

[robbro]

the board cost me over 200 quid end of last year its still around that same price 200 odd!

The board is lovely i think it might be my RAM - as having 4GB (1gb in each slot) in all 4 slots makes my ram decrease to 800mhz(Should be 1066mhz). I think i will get 2x2gb ram @ 1066mhz this way my FSB should go to 1333mhz.

Ill let you know what i decide to do - Also a lot of people say this board is constantly always running hot. Jim have you ever taken off the NB And SB heat sinks on a board? is it difficult to do ?

I saw a picture the other day, someone had prised the nb off with a screwdriver, it looked bad

[venney]

if i play the game for more than say, 25 mins it seems to freeze. just locks up the pc completly. ive looked online and apparently there are quiet a few bugs with the game.

Myself and a friend of mine locally both were playing and he had trouble but i didnt. I could play for 3-4 hours with no probs, he could go anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour then lock up. Theres a update available for the US version, should be one for yall also.
