    Primary display on dual screen CrossFire setup

    Hey, I'm running a Sapphire HD3450 card, on crossfire with a ASUS M3A-H/HDMI motherboard. It's working great, doing exactly what I want it to do... except, I can't chose a primary display. It's locked into whatever is plugged into the DVI port as the primary. When my projector's plugged in...

    My second build

    Does it look like there's any incompatibilities? Will it blow up when I hook things up?

    My second build

    The PSU comes in a package with the processor, which is $20 off, and after rebate, ends up being only $60. I chose the Asus because it has the 780G northbridge, for the HTPC part of the computer. The hd3450 is so I can set up crossfire and hook up my monitors, they're both VGA, and the board...

    My second build

    It's an all propose PC, that doubles as a HTPC, I guess. It's in the other room, so noise doesn't matter. Power consumption doesn't matter either. Edit: nope, won't overclock. Unless it's safe and I can keep it at a good temp with the stock heat sink, but even then I don't know if I'd need...

    My second build

    First build was a compaq mb ripped out of an ebay machine, 3ghz single core processor, using onboard graphics, 1gb of ram. The ram, I'm just preparing for the future with the extra RAM, I'll probably end up leaving firefox, photoshop, and a few other apps running constantly. Plus, it's 50%...

    My second build

    Hey everybody. I'm about to put in an order for parts for my second build. My first one failed catastrophically, and doesn't do anything I want it to.. so I figured I'd ask this time :P Ultimately, this is a media PC. I also use it as a web server for my local network, and I'm guessing this...

    AC97 Ports

    My case originally came with AC97 headphone and microphone ports, but, my MB had HD Audio. I had to amputate the original ac97 hardware, and modify the case to get the HD audio thing to fit. I pulled the HD audio jacks out of an old computer. But now, I'm getting a new MB.. and I can't seem to...

    YouTube's flash video player sucks!

    There are so many sites superior to youtube, player wise, it's not funny. You can't skip to where you want to go, always in like 10 second increments. Maybe if I have some time later on, I'll make a greesemonkey plug in that replaces the youtube player with the JW FLV media player. Wouldn't be...

    Completely dissed by my webhost, need new reliable and cheap hosting

    Yeah, that person probably doesn't value his job too much. I use asmallorange.com, been using them continuously for about 9 months. They're always fast to respond to tickets. Always professional. One of their guys even helped me out with a programming problem once. I was pulling data from the...

    Choppy 1080p playback, which component to blame?

    I just actually just read some of the reviews on that original Asus, instead of skimming and looking at ratings, and a few people actually have it running with Crossfire on a 780g. So I threw that back in there. And I put the DDR2 800 back in there, I thought since the new MB supports that 1066...

    Choppy 1080p playback, which component to blame?

    Well, under the "CrossFire Supported" in newegg, it's blank. I just took that at face value and assumed that means no crossfire. The HSF, I did look farther into it. It's way overkill for me, and it's huge. The reason I didn't get the top rated one is because it's too tall, and won't clear my...

    Choppy 1080p playback, which component to blame?

    I have an Ultra ULT-500P It came with my case. I also did a little looking around since my last post, to make sure everything is 100% before I put in my order.. and Apparently, that ASUS HD3450 doesn't support crossfire. I found this one that does: SAPPHIRE 100235L Radeon HD 3470 256MB...

    Choppy 1080p playback, which component to blame?

    I see. I really like the Asus though, so I guess I'll put my order in soon. Anyways, do you guys think 500 watts is enough to power this system?
