    LGA1155 motherboard for quad 7970s

    I see, so I should be fine running in a x8/x8/x8/x8 setup with PCI-e 3.0 then. With a card like the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 3, it lists 4 PCI-e 3.0 slots (x16/x16/x8/x8). When running 4 cards, I'm guessing those (2) x16 slots become x8 slots?

    LGA1155 motherboard for quad 7970s

    Ah, forgot that little detail. A PCI-e 3.0 x8 channel can still handle 8GB/s of bandwidth right? How much does a 7970 top out at, 6Gbps?

    LGA1155 motherboard for quad 7970s

    Does anyone know if anybody makes a socket LGA1155 motherboard with (4) PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots?? I have looked high and low and can't find one anywhere. The closest I've found is a couple boards that have (3) PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots and (1) x8 slot. I know I can get a LGA2011 board with 4 of those...

    Most effective antivirus software?

    Third (or fourth, fifth....) vote for checking out av-comparatives.org. I've been using PC Tools Spyware Doctor w/ Anti-virus for a few years now and it's nice to see it do well in the comparative tests. My only complaint is it's a little slow when scanning. I've used a lot of the different...

    Budget LCD

    I ended up going with the AOC 2236Vw on sale for $150 at Staples (normally $180). This was one of only a couple of monitors in this price range that came w/ a 3-year warranty. Only negative is it didn't come w/ a DVI cable, but picked one up for pretty cheap at a local computer shop, so no big...

    22" LCD - What resolution do you prefer 1680x1050 or 1920x1080 ?

    I'm pretty surprised how close this is. I thought 1920x1080 would win for sure.

    Budget LCD

    I'm looking for a budget LCD that can do 1920x1080 and is $170 or less. I've found the Dell E2210H, Dell ST2210, Viewsonic VX2233wm, and NEC V221W-BK. Which of these 4 would be the best choice?

    Received RMA drive today

    I know it isn't the same drive that I sent in lol. The warranty on the drive I received is the same as the drive I sent in, so they didn't give me a new warranty. Just hoping this thing lasts at least until the end of the warranty.

    Received RMA drive today

    The physical drive itself looks brand new though, like it just came out of a retail box.

    Received RMA drive today

    I had to RMA a WD 74GB Raptor that failed after ~ 2.5 years and received my new drive today. The first thing I noticed was the manufacture date which is 3 December 2009. I got excited at first because I thought WD had sent me a new drive. Then I noticed that it's labeled "Recertified" above...

    Looking for 1600*1200 monitor

    I'm pretty much in the same situation. I'm looking for a side monitor for my 3007wfp-hc and want to turn it sideways (portrait mode). A 1600x1200 resolution matches up perfectly w/ the 2560x1600 Dell, but its hard to find good, non-TN 1600x1200 displays. So far the only choices I've come...

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    Just ordered a refurb 2209WA for $203.70 shipped (used the 5% off coupon posted above). Edit: Order canceled. I didn't realize the refurb monitors only come w/ a 90-day warranty. Don't want to take any chances.
