Hello Gary, Indeed, I will probably go single gpu as I won't see much benefit in WoW, as I would in getting the almost very best CPU, memory, and SSD. Friday, October 8, 2010, 8:39:15 AM, you wrote: > If you are considering dual GPUs for WOW, I would check the tech > support forums on Bl

Hello Scoobydo, Thanks, this does help me, I will use a single monitor setup as my Samsung 244T serves me and i have limited space at this time. I did drool though as I read your email. My current card is a 4870 but I plan to keep it in the system I will be upgrading. I have had some issues with i

I'm looking for a really simple database program for a client who wants to keep track of contacts. Basically he wants to create a list of contacts and then be able to print out a subset of them (by last name or whatever) and he doesn't want to learn something "complex" like Access. Any ideas?

Yeah, OC'd or not, Corsair's H50 is inexpensive and high performance (the new H70 by all accounts has loud fans according to HardOCP and it's forum members). Very compact for a less cluttered interior and the one I'd buy if I were to be in the market for a new CPU cooler.. On Fri, 08 Oct 2

My take on the hardware reviews that I've read and the fact that I own a GTX 460 and an HD 5770 is that dual 5770's in a crossfire config are currently the best bang for the buck if WOW has been given a profile by AMD's driver writers. You'd have to check that out and see. On the other hand
