    Well hey guys I'm sure some of you remember who I am, while there are quite a few people who don't. I was originally in the guild for WAR and then ended up not playing & taking a general break from all things gaming.

    After having returned to start work on upgrading my computer again (addictions suck) just decided to register back up on here and see how everyone is doing.

    I don't know if its Bob/Stan, val. Why wouldn't he use his old Forum Acct? Also, after some detective work, BobfromMar.... is 24 according to his profile and this Bob is 25. So.... who are you, bob?

    Replacing my AMD 5200+ xp (running around 2.65ghz) with a i7 920 2.66ghz that I'll OC to around 3.2 probably since the lga1366 processors are pricey as hell atm. Also picking up the intel dx58so mobo to handle the 6gb of tri-channel ram and a 4870x2 (1 card) to last for now. If need be I'll pick up a 2nd card later lol.

    Bob originally played RF on an opposing faction, then joined XoO after he quit RF, iirc. The only game he played with us was WAR. He's not the Bob/Stan most of you know.

    Welcome back dude. I dropped outta WAR myself too. Good game but didn't have the time to dedicate to it. Planning on playing anything in particular with your new rig?

    Dawn of War 2 , Diablo 3 are the main 2, but honestly I've been messing around on CoX again just to kill time.

    do NOT get that mobo, it sucks. Get anything else. EVGA X58, Rampage 2 Extreme are both good.

    the fact that he did not say Darkfall makes me wonder about him...maybe he is a spy? :D

    Kyoji, what have I told you about trying to be smart. You clearly missed the fact that he is getting a 4870x2.

    I would NOT get the bored if I was getting dual gtx280s or something. But I'm going with an ATI card so... that mobo is glorious for it.

    Darkfall has been vaporware for me to care, maybe if they through some beta invites at my job I might check it out.

    And I hate starcraft, always have. DoW > SC

    Let's keep in mind that SC came out 9 years before DoW.
