| 714768 | 2008-10-31 04:01:00 | Are you serious?....Quite easy, show me 1 other graphical program that crawls while having 4 cores 4Gb RAM and blistering fast GPU's..... It crawls because the texture coding is poorly written..! Have a search through Phil Taylors blog as he was one of the programers for FSX and if I remember correctly someone asked the same question. blogs.msdn.com :) |

SLI on a PSU is just branding. It means that it has connectors enough to support two graphics cards. They're not intelligent enough to figure out what hardware you're running. You sound like you know what you're doing really. You just need to be confident and go out and buy your bits. I was the same way. P5Q, Q6600, and 4850 (or whatever you're going with) will be fine. 1066 RAM doesn't make much difference, I bought some and think it was probably a waste of money. Regardless, your MoBo will support that too. I know a little bit, just through research but as you said I'm a bit unconfident since it is my first build and just want to know that everything will work fine/good when i decide to build it. Thanks for the info on the PSU as well :) |

| 714770 | 2008-10-31 04:12:00 | You'll be fine. The one thing nobody told me was that you've got to make your own thread in case fans... that took me a while to figure out. |

No. Commission Intel to bring out a special edition of the new 7i chips, and an enthusiast board custom designed just for you. And then Oil submerge it. And then put 3x 280GTX in SLI, OC'd. And then get a 15" CRT to play it on. |
