Now we're getting on to dual core what are the best setups for Pulsar,with regards to Mobos Hard disks Ram etc.
I've heard PATA are recommended over SATA now.
Why's that?

Are the Samsung really that quiet?(benchmark tests look promising) I'm asking because I need to buy another HD.

Is the "Premium" feature something worth for the performance? I saw that the non Premium mobo has two of the three pci slots spaced, it seems better against heat issues if you have 2 scope pro and a Pulsar....some air between the large cards seems desirable.

@ paulrmartin:
Samsung HDs are really very quiet, I think. My good fans are louder than it, and big saving actions are barely audible.
I will buy just a second one.

I put Pulsar-II into an Asus P5P800 about two months ago and it's absolutely flawless with no tweaking at all. Not a hint of a single problem.
