ok, for example, would I get any additional benefit by getting another
fx3400 card and running in SLI or get a fx7800? The Asus motherboard can take a athlon 64 fx57, would this be better than the one I have brought? "Haley" wrote in message ...

Pete, maybe your ill.
That system is practically the hotest thing you could possibly buy. You would have one of the most powerful Desktops availible in the world(stock speeds wise & raw CPU power), why on earth do you seem dis content. Your systems got two CPUs for crying out loud! i struggling to keep my one cool, never mind having two. My only question is are you sure about the "fx3400" cause i've never heard of desktop GFx card called that. Check again.

" The Quadro FX3400 is a workstation card. http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadrofx.html With posts like this, you aren't sure whether the OP is trolling or not. Sure, games that use a single processor will be faster with an FX57, but only until they bring out more games that utilise dual-core, or release patches for existing ones. This argument though is futile, as, if your main aim is gaming, you wouldn't buy a Quadro 3400. IMO the OP is a bit of a cheapskate for not getting an A8N-SLI Premium, more hard drives, and some fluffy dice to hang on his monitor. |

Well, if speed is the order of the day, I would suggest adding a Western
Digital "Raptor" 10,000rpm SATA 36 GB harddrive to use exclusively as the C: boot drive for Windows. Then the OS would be operating lightening fast, and your applications on the 250 GB would not be slowed down when the computer accesses the OS on the Raptor drive. I set up a similar computer for a friend this way and it made a big difference. -- DaveW "pete" wrote in message ...

YES : for sistem disk: http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/...spx?i=2431&p=5 +4x1GB of cheapest DDR ... or Samsung 8GB Solid state Flash IDE drive ... (500€) for data disk: 2xWD Raptors , Raid0 config. The remaining yours HD for system & data back up & archive .. this would speed up big time any newer PC, more than dualcore A64 .. -- Regards , SPAJKY ® mail addr. @ my site @ http://www.spajky.vze.com 3rd Ann.: - "Tualatin OC-ed / BX-Slot1 / inaudible setup!" |
