Looking for mid-range SLI gfx cards for 3 monitors

Having games span 3 monitors isn't a make-or-break, and I'm fine with only two screens. That said, I will look into your suggestion of the GTX 260 and keep my 8600. While we're on the subject, how does the mobo/CPU look? not obsolete yet I hope, although I have been eying the i7..

Looking for mid-range SLI gfx cards for 3 monitors

It's fine if I can't run SLI. What I am curious about is how games will utilize two mismatched graphics cards. I took HL2 out for a test spin a couple weeks ago and it spans both my monitors (annoyingly, since the crosshair was right between the monitors) on the single card. I would presume that...

Looking for mid-range SLI gfx cards for 3 monitors

AstroManLuca, WHOA! just kidding, totally meant 8600. So not new but not old either. I'm running an Intel Core2Quad at 2.1GHz (not sure of the family - if anyone knows of a CPU-Z type program for Linux, let me know) and an eVGA 122-CK-NF68. My mom does want this machine back if I build...

Looking for mid-range SLI gfx cards for 3 monitors

Hi all, As a poor, starving college student, I've been out of the loop on the hardware market for some time now. Right now I am sporting a dual screen setup with a single GeForce 8600 GTS. Pretty new at the time, and a little old now. But thanks to Uncle Sam, I have a little more cash to...

Multiple monitors + notebook?

Hi all, Right now I've got a 17" NEC monitor plugged into the docking station on my Sony VAIO SZ110 notebook, and I'm running dual screens on Fedora 8 -- one external monitor, the other the screen of the actual notebook. I'm moving from a dorm on-campus (I'm a starving college student) to...

Classical Music: Why don't you listen?

I enjoy my classical -- but also the rock and other stuff. Ska/punk do it for me as well as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Personally, I prefer piano music to anything else instrumental, but that's only because I've played classical piano for 8 years or so. That's not to say that I won't...

Overheating on Asus A8N32?

WOW! The new BIOS makes a dramatic change. Before the new BIOS, I was idling at about 43 degrees. Now, 35 is my low and my mean is 37! I knew that the temps had to be okay -- air tests and extra hole mods and all -- so I was just waiting for ASUS to release the fix for the temp probe.

Overheating on Asus A8N32?

I think everyone with an A8N32 has this problem. The temp sensor is right by the southbridge, and usually the graphics card just dumps heat onto it. Really, it's not that much to worry about. As long as it runs stable it should be okay.

Duke lacrosse case

I don't think it really matters to people here, but I play lacrosse and this scandal has rocked the community. Duke was supposed to be in the top 4, but their program has been ruined. It sucks because even if the investigation ceases with nothing found (which it will -- the DNA tests proved...

Is it unsafe to rest tower on a carpeted floor?

WRONG! Tasers can send 400,000 (! -- not factorial) volts. You don't die (unless you've got a pacemaker, but that's a whole different story). What kills you is CURRENT: the flow of electricity through your body. The more electricity flowing through your body, the higher probability of death...
