Re: SuperFugly: Antec P193

Unlike the P190, the P193 has bumped out the mount so that there is more room inside the case for large CPU coolers which was a problem on the P190. well theres the reasoning I like the look of the case tbh although I prefer my an...

There's no reason to upgrade from a dual core to a dual core now. So just hold off, get the new GPU upgrade, and when you save up enough money to upgrade the motherboard along with CPU, then do it.

Re: USB 3.0 / SATA III add-in card: $30

Im not sure about intel hardware but the AMD 790fx chipset supports most combos of PCI-E cards with the only limit being that it has 42 lanes. Its not exactly what you want but a step in the right direction at least.

using a GT 220 as a physx card in tandem with 5850

I was just curious if any one had experience in using an nvidia card solely for physics and an ATI card for graphics. As I understand it windows vista wont support 2 different graphics drivers installed but now windows 7 will. My plan is to get a gt 220 for about $60.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product...
