my apologies pete
you free this saturday, i've been wanting to play battlefield 2 in all its glory "pete" wrote in message ... Hey guys! not just talk or a troll thank you. I use Cad software for a living, (see I did not mention the name, so not trolling), and if you wish to get an email showing the invoice, I will gladly send it to you, (so just not talk). As I was saying, I use cad software, but I also play games on line (Burn baby! should give a clue without mentioning the name, still not trolling). I am not some kid boasting , I am 44, ! Yes it is a great system, that is why I brought it, but so are F1 cars, and they are always trying to make them better and faster. Every PC I have brought so far, has never been fast enough for the latest cad or games software to run at full specs, just look at cad work-stations going for £5000 +. Mine comes nowhere near that pricing. So the questions genuine. "SteveH" wrote in message . uk... "Cuzman" wrote in message ...

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. I think its just talk.. SteveH |

Division of workspace, temp files, apps and OS files in whatever logically suits the task will improve performance. Some find a WD Raptor a good candidate for running the OS. |

Both, lol, now here is a neat question!
As the motherboard has 2 PciE slots and can be used for SLI, can I have a FX3400 in one slot and the GF7800 in the other, I am not talking about SLI in this case. Then would it be possible to select each Graphic card for each program? Ie the 3400 for cad and the 7800 for UT2004 ?

This seems to differ from your answer, or did I read it wrong? "Cuzman" wrote in message ... pete wrote: " Then would it be possible to select each Graphic card for each program? Ie the 3400 for cad and the 7800 for UT2004 ? " No. |

Where in your URL does it say anything about using the monitors
separately? I can't see it. "pete" wrote in message ... http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index....pid;1116437436 This seems to differ from your answer, or did I read it wrong?
