I just got and email saying my new puter is at stage 6.
I guess that means that the big momma computer's contractions are really close together now.

Questions: I plan to add a second video card later. I only got the 750W PS, will I have to upgrade the PS to 1000W when I add the other video card? How do you know how much PS power you need?

Also; Can you run duel monitors if they are not alike? Can I run my 21 inch CRT and a 23 inch LCD?

ok well for 2 x 285 you can try and run it with teh 750w but you are pushing it.

and yes you can run dual monitor if they are different.
