well done Kermit, you managed to get +1 for your post count - 99% of that is already known as most ppl have CF up and running. I recommend you dont overclock processors or graphics cards without getting a high powered fan and i've already screwed up one P4 HT from overclocking it too high. The recommendation i say to everyone is: Have Fun! thats the point of games - not waiting hours to get the PC ready Blaster
