Having DDR3 on a socket 775 system is going to make almost no difference as the memory controller is located in the northbridge and your CPU wont make use of the extra bandwidth. Also that 5.5 for the ram is ok. So for a cheap upgrade I would go and get the Pentium E5700 and put it in your existing...

Hang on, so they hate 60Hz. But that is the single most common refresh rate used :? . And are you sure your monitor actually supports 1440 x 900 @ 75Hz....because in my experience very few monitors do. I think most if not all of the problem was caused by conflicting drivers. I probably should have ...
