Your into gaming arn't you ?? Smile

Tell me with that list I'm assuming your going to buy it off NewEgg, they seem to be the only supplier I've noticed with Rosewill.

As for myself getting a drop in GPU I've been thinking about it, so far this graphics card will handle the limited gaming I want and will do probably just as good running CAD/CAM software then a much better gaming card considering none of them are all that great for OpenGL.

Which brings me to my next point, looking at a ATI FireGL card or a nVidia Quadro card for the desktop can't decide though. And will be a couple months till I buy it anyways.

I don't do much OC'ing myself. As for NewEgg they don't ship to us Canadians, but thats alright we got FrontierPC, NCIX and Canada computers Dimitri _________________ A thousand hills, but no birds in flight, ten thousand paths, with no people's tracks.

That sucks that they dont ship to canada. If your not doing much OC'ing then go with either of the two. I cant really tell the difference between nVidia and ATI other than OC'ing.

Yeah sometimes OC'ing will make your computer go on the fritz. I OC'ed my GPU that i am using right now and before i got it all perfect my screen and sound would shut off at random intervals and i would have to reboot.

Yah. Still everything went together without a hick up, execpt for the PCI-E card I bought that has Serial Ports, it was made using the same board as a Parrellel port board by the same company and has annoying removeable connectors for the connection between the board and the serial ports themselves, and wont allow the use of a PCI-E 16x card in the next slot over. For once I do get a good workstation card.

Its because of the mATX MOBO. But hey as long as everything went together fine then you cant really complain.

Atrox,

Nothing to do with the mATX motherboard but instead because of the placement of the slots.

This motherboard because of the large Northbridge/IGP they decided to put the PCI-E 1x card right next to it being the first card off from the CPU with a cut down heat sink to suit just the PCI-E 1x card. And this card has plastic (HUGE by the way) connectors that connect from the board to the ports the lines, so it goes over the "max" space it should take up. Wouldn't matter much if this board had the PCI-E 1x at the end like many motherboards but this one's the first slot.

The spacing of PCI/PCI-E and the even older types of slots are standard across the board whether in a mATX motherboard or in a full sized ATX motherboard.

OK, so....I understood "building a new computer" and I understood something about the price of a couple of new firearms. Eric, I'm with you on this one. _________________ "If God hadn't meant for man to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat!"

Know what you mean Tracks. I have understood a fair bit of it, but not all. Computers are definitely a young fellas' game. I have a future son-in-law, who coincidentally grew up on Vancouver Island and spent most of his younger days on the research vessel ORCA, anywayz, he too is a real computer buff. A coupla weeks back I went ADSL and was just going to plug my 'puter into the modem. He said..."nah, leave it to me". We now have a LAN in our household. Currently only two computers connected, but there is provision for another four or five if we wish. Got me knackered what he did, but it works. Best part is my daughter now leaves my computer alone and accesses the net on her own. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince

Hey Dimitri, Tell me how to get pictures on the net with my Mac OSX. Hope says that she will read your response and try to put the pictures up if she can.
