Sorry Bobby, got you and Anthony mixed up. Good point about getting the
best to avoid upgrades for several years. That's the reason I was aiming
for a 5850 but when it came down to it, just can't justify spending that
much for one component. And really the 5770 that I got is so much better
than the 4850 it replaced.

Stan,
I do some gaming. Mostly single player Call of Duty and games like that. I
do run fold...@home and s...@home. I was using the GPU for Seti, but it put
out way too much heat. Basically, when I was building the system, I was
trying to get the most I could that I wanted to pay for. That way, I don't
have to spend more and upgrade the GPU in a couple of years.
My memory gives me a 7.8 with 6GB of Corsair Dominators.

I'm curious Bobby, since you don't game what do you need a GTX 285 for.
Are you fold...@home or doing some Cuda stuff? My hard drive score is
4.8 and memory is 7.4 by the way.

I just installed Win 7 on my machine. I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 285
graphics card that I have had for about 9 months now. This card gives me
7.4 for both graphics scored.
My HD score is a lowly 5.9. This is with a VelociRaptor for the boot
drive
and 3 1TB WD black drives. I have dreams of SSDs. LOL.
