Well I finally got around to upgrading my well-deserved computer! Now i have an AMD Phenom II X4 955, 8GB (soon to be 16GB) of DDR3 RAM, a PNY GeForce GTX 260 and an MSI 870A Fuzion in which I'll be paralleling my GTX 260 hopefully with a PNY GTX 550 Ti (currently on sale for $149.99) to power my one monitor (or two with a F.E panel, with the CrossFireX technology.

With AMD's OverDrive program I have safely sped up the Phenom X4 955 from 3.2 GHz to 4.1 GHz within the AMD safety limits (meaning I'm out of the orange/pink/red zone). The sim is faster than ever!!!
