Re: Stang's Upgrade
You make sure you don't have any extra stanchions under the mobo shorting it?

Re: Stang's Upgrade
I know mine has a new 12V line to the mobo besides the main power connector. minimal components to boot if you are having issues - video, RAM and keyboard will be enough for POST.

I see you and Stang are getting dual video cards. Is WoW written to take advantage of dual cards? |

Re: Stang's Upgrade
Anything benefits from running video cards in SLI mode, they spit the processing power regardless of the application. Unfortunately, we also each have dual LCD monitors, the two video cards together offer a total of 4 DVI ports, you think we would be set.....but no. When you have the video cards in SLI mode you can only use one monitor. The only way to use two monitors is buy a 3rd non-nvidia card run run the second monitor while keeping the dual cards in SLI mode, or turn off SLI mode and run the dual monitors on the two cards we have. So far we just have SLI turned off.

Re: Stang's Upgrade
Hmmm....good to know. I thought applications needed to be written for that sort of thing. Maybe, to really take full advantage of the speed offered by multiple cards we could see apps witten for them in the future. I know I could have ordered my new Apple MacPro tower at work with up to 4 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB cards.
Anyway...Now I'll be rethinking my next Windows build. |

Re: Stang's Upgrade
Looks like my power supply decided to puke last night. The machine was acting sorta flakey and then all of a sudden it all shut down. Got it to come back on once and it shut down again. Initial tests point to the PS....
Not good....... |

An event happened last night, an event I like to call "The Bending".
My new PC is now up and running and space time will never be the same!

Re: Stang's Upgrade
The real question is, did Cannonball mysterious disappear after a meteor shower and reappear as Can, Nan, On, and Ball?
If that joke doesn't make sense to you, then don't worry...you're simply not cool enough. /laughs while he drinks from his "I survived the collapse of Oshur" mug |

Re: Stang's Upgrade
I need to start considering a new video card by 2007. I have my radeon 9800 pro. I am not going to upgrade if I am just playing WOW but I might go up on ram. I currently have 1 GB.
