Thats the problem , you actually READ Hardocp. LoL !! Its one of the no-no websites on my list. 6800 GT is no doubt the best bang for buck in the agp cards section , but I prefer the ATI Pci-Ex cards , simple becoz they are more tolerant to out of sync buses .
Now I'm even more confuseds :gives:
Now leaning towards skt754, specifically the 3400 DTR 'AR' wasted in my laptop...
Thinking Lanparty UT NF3, Ballistix PC4000 still - then pop the DTR out of the laptop, switch it with this and get rockin. With my 6600GT, and a near future (or right away) upgrade to this
Just can't remember if the Lanparty NF3 needs a BIOS flash before it will take a DTR or not?

DFI NF3 754 board works with DTR just fine with stock bios as far as i know .
And about the 6800 GT ( get the cheapest one around like evga , bfg or leadtek ) and do the volt mod bios flash. Really simple and helpful . Buy the NV silencer 5 retail from some online store . See if buying it that way works cheaper .
For the DTR remember , normal hsfs like xp90 and xp120 wont work without a mod to the bracket becoz the DTRs sit lower than normal processors. In this case the best bet for you would be to get a Swiftech MCX6400V with 90 mm fan brackets and a good high cfm Delta or Panaflo fan . I prefer panaflo since deltas tick at low rpms and it gets annoying after a while .

both boards are shit , why go socket 754 for pci express when socket 939 NF4 boards are better with dual channel and everything. Cost is maybe like 15 dollars more . And about upgradability , Venice and San Diego anyone ? Dual core down the road too ? Turion can go suck a big fat sheep for all I care . Socket 939 is where its at . :worship::worship::worship:
