Check these Specs for me Please.

Having had two old-ish Antec PSUs (one of them a Trubelue 480W) either go bang (literally) or undervolt like crazy I'd treat that PSU carefully and check voltages as you go. At least when mine popped it just fried a fuse, so they're not usually hardware-killers like certain other brands I could name.

Kit is due to arrive @ 3pm

I've got that excited but nervous feeling

I used to run 2 X1900XTs in crossfire and noticed a decent jump in performance over a single card, so the crossfire isn't without it's uses.
I'm not sure why you guys are so anti crossfire, I ran it for a couple of years with no issues - do you guys know something I don't

Let us know how she goes mate

Just woke up from my afternoon snooze to read an email saying he is an hour & 40 minutes behind schedule
My whole day was planned perfectly right up to my Snooze finishing off at 2.50pm & now I have an hour & a half to fill, All the best laid plans go to ****.

Malc its an hour and 40 mins, lol, not particulary the end of the world, most of my life runs later than that behind schedule

I think it's mostly down to if you're buying new, the money you'd spend on two cards in crossfire, would normally yield more performance on a single higher end card. And two higher end cards cost so much money as to be bordering on insanity.

I think it's only recently with the graphics market stagnating a bit it's made more sense, ie. 2x 8800GT outperformed a single 8800GTX and cost about the same.

Imagine a 12 year old boy waiting for his Prezzy since Christmas Eve (last night)
Then Imagine getting woke up by your Ma in the morning only for her to say You cannot go down stairs for an hour & forty
This is how I feel

It feels like I have been waiting 2 years for this upgrade

I know what you mean, I was and still am dead excited with my new setup. Hardly use it as it's mainly for my dad to play the latest games on (he's loving COD4 at the mo)

The Dude came at around 5.30pm 'ish & left around 7.30pm 'ish.
What can I say, You couldn't wish to meet a Nicer bloke. Came in all casual, Chatted like a mate & dealt like a Man
Honestly I cannot speak highly enough of this fella & if you get the chance to deal with him then Do it with Complete confidence.

Build.
I've had a few probs, Initially just being cautious but having an 8 socket 12v ATX & a 4 pin plug from my PSU scared the bejesus out of me for a few mo's.
Acfter reading that it goes in anyway I braved it.
Next prob came when it came to powering the cards, Only one correct plug left me only installing one card & needing another connector.
As it stands it fired up first time & all seems well (touching wood) & I'll get another adaptor/connector tomorrow.
Of course I am sitting up now doing all my re instal & updates but I am a happy Chappy
Not true I am an excited ecstatic bunny

Onwards & upwards & I'll drop by for some Spam during the night.


I now have a Quad core & nearly a crossfire set up
Tell you what though it looks complete Sex, I've found out during the build that I have a fetish for Copper, Must be the Pikey in me
