I just installed Win XP 64-bit onto my new system. It containsa Geforce 8800 GTS PCIE video card. There is two DVI ports on the back to allow me to view 2 displays however i would like to have 3 displays.

I plugged in my 3DFX Voodoo3 PCI card expecting XP/64 to recognize it but it doesnt (it attempts to use Standard VGA but still fails to start it). I'm guessing it has to do with having a 64-bit driver rather than the new hardware setup. The videocard worked in my old XP/32-bit box.

Anyone knwo where to get a display driver that will work with this video card?

I head that the price of the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 is supposed to drop sharply on July 22. I heard this from two people and was wondering if I should go ahead and build my computer, which I am wanting to very anxiously, or should I wait around till The 22nd when and if the flight drops? Can anyone confirm that the price is going to drop?

put it back together. Do you need to buy a new CPU Fan, thermal paste or the complete set?
If thermal paste, how do I apply it?

Honest and straight answers I want.

it' is actually my room mates computer. it has 2 drives one for CDs and the other is a DVD (burner) drive...now both drives work just fine with CDs but they don't recognize DVDs at all.
if i put in a DVD...it shows either an empty folder or says that there is no disc in the drive.
is there a program i can install to make it work or what else can be the reason of the problem?
