Nice System ;-) - strange you can only run 2gb Ram with your PSU.. thought 700w would be ample ! - I have 770W PSU and running 4gb of exact same ram only on an Intel based system
EDIT: Have you tried updating the BIOS? Or even thought about upgrading to Vista...I remember some people having issues when trying to use 4gb before and were affected by this. - Might be worth ruling out before you spend out on a new PSU
Yeah - having issues with the Memory itself - its extremely power thristy running the low latency timings. Not a massive issue really. I dont want to go over to vista yet - so will crack on with the 2G till I get a new PSU and the 2nd GTX.
The New psu is only £80, Ive spent over £2500 this year on PC's so a drop in the ocean and will stick 700W in PC Im selling. The new PSU will help with the SLI memory when that arrives.
Well - I'm no expert and the issue resolves it self when there is only 2 sims in, so cant thiunk what else it would be. It cuts out just like a lack of power issue - with no errors reported.
I'd be inclined to say a faulty stick somewhere in there. I used to have a PC that occasionally restarted randomly - like a power supply issue, however I changed pretty much every component over time apart from the ram and it still did it. I guess one of the sticks was faulty, however it only happened maybe once every 2 weeks so I didn't ever bother replacing them.

The recliner is experimental. I wedged 4 erasers in the wooden rocking mechanism, so that it doesnt move. I have been sitting on a lawn chair with a pad until now.

My 2 subs both about 400w but one was only a 2.1 so when went 5.1 double adapter came out to make a more pure bass as both seem to manage diff bass due to there design
the steering wheel and pedals looking at the G25 Atm its about 3000Rmb here in china makes it 186 pounds
The pc almost finished the switches are for the front 4 fans only on when i play LSF and NSF pro street

I don't need Aero fashion effects on my PC, it's nice the windows classic style, isn't it?
On my laptop Aero efects are good and nice... But for a PC that I use to play, P2P, or CAD programs... Aero it isn't important and I win a little more perfomance without him
G0 step seems to run cool (stock that is). I'm going to be upgrading my fan later (not planning on o/cing yet, but to keep the pc quiet, atm the loudest parts of my pc are the CPU fan and GFX fan. That said... the overall sound is actually very quiet, hard to hear unless you are really listening!)
I just built this pc recently to play COD4 (and obviously LFS), but after blowing my budget by nearly 4x, its turned into my main machine (rather then my laptop)
It was in single channel at first, cuz Vista didn't like dual channel when I was installing it.. But now it's back in dual channel.. I took the pics while Vista was installing..
