 Topic: Config check, please...Posted: 10 Dec 2008 at 9:24am |
|
After reviewing various websites and trolling the DSO forums I have come up with the configuration listed below. I selected 920 i7 based on the forum responses. I upgraded the motherboard as well for that reason, was that a good selection? I went with two 260 cards instead of the 280 because it appears to me that the 280 does not offer that make more performance for the price. I am wondering whether air cooling be enough for the two cards? I was not sure on the memory, as to which version is best or which company is best, so I took the default.
Thanks in advance...

Shipped and on its way I should have stayed away from Newegg. They had the 30 inch monitor I wanted, and offered me 12 months to pay for it, with free shipping.
