Thats what I've got!

I'm tempted with this though, but it might not fit on my desk, its huge and my current one hangs over the edge

I thought the seawater and the steering wheel weren't included...

So maybe she is included with the game...

I might have to start selling body parts to afford a new one though...

Any one want to swap a leg for a new SSE-ready PC?

Will it have any effect if you built 2 video cards in your computer?

I dont get the option for two graphics cards, but I get the option for two operating systems

Oh wait yes I do, I need a better case!

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7310 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:41:48 »

Can you just upgrade the processor?

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7311 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:42:52 »

In my current computer or that one?

Oh dear, 2 graphics cards are rather steep $:-\$

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7312 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:46:49 »

I was thinking for my one...

Valid reason to invest in a new machine...

Unfortunately it doesn't actually justify the cost. And since my laptop is under spec anyway, it looks like I won't be playing SSE.

Not necessarily.. just because a motherboard has more expansion slots doesn't necessarily mean it has crossfire support. Normally you buy those kinds of motherboards for that specific reason. If it doesn't have crossfire, then it won't make a difference. It will only use power from one card. The other expansion areas are for other things.. like adding extra places to use an IDE drive or for a sound card.. they make a bunch of different things..

Morning Tractorman

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7319 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:24:43 »

How are you?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7320 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:25:13 »

OK, though worried I won't be able to play SSE...

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7321 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:27:42 »

Same, I'm going to wait to see if anything changes, but also just get it and see if my computer can run it, and if it doesn't I'll get a new computer, if it does run, perfect

but I don't know if I have the money, bought a TV not long ago $:-\$

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7322 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:28:47 »

Same issue here - also as I said on another thread PCWorld has I think it was 70 PCs... only 11 had 3GHz+...

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7323 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:30:55 »

This time I'm turning away from PCWorld and looking somewhere else

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7324 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:53:05 »

But they still seem rather expensive...
