Dont you thinkits becasue of your mobo that 5850 works fine ... oh butaway ..that motherboard should be ddr 2 becasue ur using ddr 2 RAMS just like Me ... & it does matter that PCI Slot 16.. be 2.0 or 1.0 ? Jonpaul37 Told me my mobo is fine it just need 1 PCI slot so what is PCI 16 2.0 ??? it should be 2.0 ...? how do i know what is mine ??

SIMPLY TELL ME WILL I ENJOY OF PLAYING DOES GAMES [ with 1440 REZ & Highest SETINGS ] SMOOTHLY WITH no LAGS with 5850 & Q9400 Installed on MY MOBO :bounce: ??

Oh thats great ... but why Crysis should Lag on the powerfull VGA Like 5850 & High-End CPU Like Q9400 Quad Core [ that already supported by my MOBO ] ... Crysis speed on my 9600 is about 85% or more ... Arma 2 too .... so why they cant change into 100% on those Great hardwares ? PLEASE DONT GET ANGRY OF ME ...i realy want to know every thing !!!

Oh But 5850 is Realy power full VGA & it CAN Force Crysis to RUN in fastest & Best condition ... I have seen in youtubes my self that how q9400 & 5770 { not 5850 } handle the GTA IV & Crysis ...Splinter Cell Convection too ... believe me its realy powerfull VGA ..... Thanks ... i will go for 5850 & Q9400 without any chnages of hardwares i mean other hardwares .. BUT PSU that needed for 5850 & Q9400 to work fast & fine ...

How much will you rate this SYSTEM ... its mine { some parts in future } GA P31 DS3L with Q9400 CPU & 4GB ddr2 800 MHZ Ram ..320 HDD {never mind } & 680 Watt Corsair PSU with ATI 5850 HD 1GB VGA CARD ?? is this good system ..if my mobo is fine ..so RAMS are too & if they Can support Q9400 & higher { as i saw in list } so it SHOULD BE GREAT SYSTEM !! What do you think ...is it have any bad hardware that should be change or i am ALL SET for having fun of GREAT GAMING ?

I have G.Skill DDR2-800 RAM, same as you.

As far as motherboards go... They do not traditionally get rated based on performance, typically motherboards are rated for the features & options and overclockability.

Your motherboard is great for overclocking, has ok features and options. In the end, it will more than do the job for what you are trying to accomplish.

An example of a motherboard that has more features and good overclocking potential is the ASUS P5Q Pro

the motherboard acts as an interface that makes the CPU/RAM/Video card work together. The power supply powers all of those components.

The CPU and video card and RAM are what gives performance and yours is all good...

The power Supply i suggested before is:
Corsair TX650
