Xigmatek Dark Knight? Make sure you can use it first and that your case can support it, though I think it should work, I'm using AM3 and I have it. Also arctic silver is good, but it can be kinda difficult to use sometimes and it takes a while to set in. There are better thermal compounds but I can't remember the names at the moment.
Perhaps the same could be said of all relig... Suikoden games, since 1 and 2 had a simpler battle system, III had that weird 2 person pairing thing going on and IV had that 4 person team which I'm not too sure about yet. Also, should be getting Fragile in the mail tomorrow, which I had been looking forward to.
Actually only played 1 and 2 to be honest, rest are in my backlog. My Suikoden collection isn't too bad I guess, though it's tiny compared to this...

Both are the same game, but Student Alliance has some extra features. Multiplayer wireless battles, some extra recipes, quests and monsters I think. Also has longer load times than the ps2 version, though you can load it to the memory stick to make the loads better.
Well I have the PS2 version anyways so it shouldn't be a problem. The text on the PSP version is also hard to read sometimes, mostly with the letter b looking kinda like a l.
So I played some Mana Khemia Student Alliance today and I think I get why some people think it's hard. The alchemy wheel goes around pretty fast, doesn't help that the screen is small too so making out the order of elements can be pretty hard. It's a lot different from Khemia 2, which had the elements spin a lot slower making it easier to pick the one you wanted.
I saw him, was just talking about the bottom characters. =p
Also, Olan was the astrologist Ramza meets that uses Galaxy Stop.

I liked Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure even though that is more of an action rpg. Also if you've never played it, could always try Breath of Fire III psp.
