It's fixed, for now. I had to not only install a new motherboard but a new power supply as well, seems the new motherboard requires more power because it is SLI ready and I also installed two GeForce 6600 gt's and plugged in the SLI bridge. What a difference in the performance! This computer now scored a 20073 on the 3Dmark score, it used to be a 4389. I would recommend anyone to upgrade to either SLI technology or Crossfire ATI, these technologies are not only for gaming but are excellent for any business computer, home computer, computers running AUTODESK or any 3d programs. It is relativley cost effective when you factor in the time spent on the computer doing your financials, playing games, drawing pictures or making avatars or whatever.
So for now that's the new post but I may be back later to talk about the good old town of East Hampton and how it is meeting it's demise. Until then.........

Well, I finaly ordered a new motherboard, an Gigabyte MA770-UD3. It should be here this Friday so I will install it the same day. I am having such an overheating problem with the motherboard I am using because this amd 6000+ processor is running at maximum wattage which is the upper limit for this motherboard. At least the new motherboard will have plenty of room for expanding to larger quad core processing which I could desperatly use.
