662124 2008-04-24 11:01:00 Ok I understand the rest of it, but what is the significance of 6 1TB HDD's? Just for the sake of it? :P Deathwish (143)
662125 2008-04-24 11:02:00 If you do buy one, make sure you use it at someone else's house :lol:

Sorry guys...
It was just an argument over building a skulltrail rig.
My mate said to put 8Gb in (and 4 9800GX2 1Gb's in)
I (thought) I remembered someone saying from an old post that the graphics ram was included in the total memory.
ie 8Gb total + 8Gb ram + 4Gb vRam (wont work)

I kinda posted in a rush without thinking it thru first, I just wanted a quick answer.
Soz again guys....

Correct when using a 32 bit O/S like Vista and XP, however the motherboard limit is a Hardware limit, not software.

hmm, I estimate a price of $65 per month in electricity for operating this beast. That is 7 hours a day, 28 days a month. But I guess that would be assuming that it would be drawing all of the 1200 watts out of the PSU which I'm not too sure about.

used calculator found at : michaelbluejay.com , everything is very much estimated, I used what variables I could and put in figure of 23 cents for electricity cost.
