why? cos.

i don't play much games and so forth, rollercoaster tycoon 3 is about as far as i will stretch this system gameswise...

£155 for the pair in the reviews i read there don't seem to be much differences in performance between these and other equivalent cards...

there's a fine line between functionality and cost that i am hovering about... i don't see any functionality being sacrificed here, and i can always upgrade at a later date...

got your X2 yet?

seems like quite a random way of doing it...

anyway, just bought these:

1 LN 580W HiperPower Type-R Modular Black PSU Quiet Dbl Fan aPFC ATX2.2 20/24 Pin £49.99 £49.99

1 LN Microsoft Wireless Desktop Comfort Curve Design Keyboard Mouse V3 £25.49 £25.49

1 LN Mitsumi FA404M 1.44 Black FDD+Int USB2 7 in 1 Card Reader (SM/MMC/SD/CF/MD/MS) Fits in 3.5" FDD Bay £10.49 £10.49

coming together slowly

Re: dave's computer
good choice on the psu

Random yes but I will sell it on latter. I currently have a x800 xt pe AGP so an upgrade to a pci board would be expensive,I also want crossfire which would mean a choice between Saphire or Saphire at the mo and no crossfire gfx cards yet (last looked last week so could be out of date info)

Re: dave's computer
crossfire still not out? that's a bit rubbish. hope it's worth the wait

my loan came in today and i also got paid today, so thought i would splash out a bit plus the psu was cheapness in one of those today-only offers, so is all good
