What Next - I Gots The Itch?

Hey All...
Alright.  A few months ago I went with my AMD64 rig (as specified below) and have not had the same number of problems that I see some other users have had.  Any crashes or lockups I have encountered have been linked to AGP fast-writes, and o'cing my GPU.  I have not even touched o'cing my CPU yet, as I am fine with stock speeds right now.
Thus, the question of the hour is what next?  I feel that my rig is missing something that would increase it's performance (substantially), and just can place my hand on it.  Any thoughts on what I can do to get that extra level of juice?
Now, before I get flamed, I really would like thoughts that are not based on overclocking the cpu.  And since I am not providing you with the details of any synthetic benches I may have run, I am more pointing this question to any component that can be added to make it the best it can be.
Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

You appear to have a pretty decent system as it is - my advice would be to enjoy it as it is (in 4 or 5 years it is going to be obsolete anyway - such is life with PCs)
You know, part of me (a BIG part) knew that going in.  I was just grasping at straws.  I am hesitant in o'cing this puppy because of the failures I have had with the P.O.S. PNY 6800GT I have in it.  Unlike many others who have purchsed PNYs version of this GPU, I have not been successful in achieving the same results as everyone else.  I can barely get to 370/1040 without hard crashing/locking up.  My temps are fine (have NV Silencer 5 w/AS5), and still hard locks.  I even flashed the bios on the card to up the voltage to 1.4.
Due to that, I don't want to start jerking around with ocing the CPU/Memory because of the luck I have had, and the $$$$ I have spent.
Anywho, I am off my Whine Podium.

  • Should I up grade to a new phone? i got the itch! There is nothing wrong with my 8300

    Should I up grade to a new phone? i got the itch! There is nothing wrong with my 8300 except for scratches. I am due for the verizon 100.00 up grade and the rebate. Is it worth to up grade? Is there a better black berry on the market like the one I have? i been waiting for the bold2 but whats taking them so long to release? how about the droid?I don't like those touch screens though . Thanks.

    Hi,
    You're getting the itch, too.  I understand, there are alot of cool phones around the market.  I can't wait for Verizon to get the 9650.  I have the Tour now, but I think just to have a trackpad and more memory would be enough for me to upgrade.  I haven't seriously looked at the Android devices yet, but I am going to give them a look too.  I really don't know much about them to be able to comment either way, good or bad.  I guess it's just a matter of looking around at all the features and deciding what to get.  Also, looking and browsing through the forums for common complaints for various devices can help give you ideas of possible future problems you might run into.  Anyways.  Good luck.

I wanted to create the screens and all but i am totally lost at this point of time. I had downloaded the Process manager trial version but what should i be doing with it. ?
    Can anyone please guide me what has to be done next in the process in order to proceed further?

    Hi,
    After this you will need to deploy your BPEL Process to BPEL Server.
    Seems like you will need more info on BPEL.

    I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
    did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
    What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
    It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
    If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
    Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • I got the redemption code....now what?

    I purchased the Photoshop CS6 Student and Teacher card a day ago, and now I am stuck. I got the redemption code and serial number. It just ends there. ....What now? There is nothing explaining what to do next. It has been over 24 hours since I have gotten the code, and nothing has happened. I should be getting a download prompt but I am not getting it. Is this normal? I spent a good $390 on this and I'd rather not be wasting it.

    JBoss1995 are you looking for the installation files for Photoshop CS6?  If so you can download the software from http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html.

  • Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • My wife and I split up and I was given the iPad but she is still know what I am doing on it. Supposedly when I got the iPad there was a program that we set up so we could know what is happening on the iPad how do we stop that? She can still see my text

    My wife and I split up and I got the iPad. But she still knows what I am doing on it. Even though I changed my apple i.d password and everything. She knows who I am talking to what I am doing on fb, my iMessage, emails, how do I get my privacy back without losing all my apps, book and movies I paid for?

    Sorry, but you are describing many different problems all in one go.  Have you changed your FaceBook account and the passwords for all your email accounts ?
    You say you have changed all the passwords for all the accounts you use, including your Apple/iTunes account if you have one.  If this hasn't done the trick I suggest you restore your iPad to factory conditions, set it up again from scratch, and download the things you've paid for again.  You will not need to pay for things bought through your iTunes account again.
