I've got so many copies of XP pro lying around...so I think I'll put them on. This computer isn't going to get the sweetness of vista yet.


Thats $ 1185 after rebates...and that just about as high as I am going to go.

1) Have I missed something?

2) For $1200...I'm getting the best computer I can, right?

3) Is the heatsink that comes with the 6600 the same as what came with my X6800? Becuase if the X6800 heatsink is better...I've got it lying around, so I'll use it.

Thanks Again Guys
