    Gaming + Linux Workstation Build

    Thanks for the reply! The latency on those is 15 rather than 14, which I think explains the price difference. I am not totally up to speed on DDR4 speeds and latency, but should I spend the extra 40 bucks for 1 less latency?

    Thanks for the fast response! Here are answers to your questions: I was not planning on trying to push for every ounce of extra performance from the CPU, but if I can easily push the CPU without much trouble then I'll go for it. That said, I think the 3470 + MSI board sounds like the way to...

    FC cable question

    Why is it pointless? :confused: If two servers were constantly talking to each other, could you not run like a 2GB FC between them for a fast network? and save yourself the cost of a switch to handle it? I have no idea lol

    going from 1600x1200 to 1920x1200

    Absolutely! Wide screen rocks. Anyway I went from a 20" widescreen (which I would not recommend for the above reasons) to a 27" widescreen, which I love. Every inch rocks.

    Walmart "Magic Eraser" saves LCD screen from Child's black-ink Pen

    Interesting... would have thought it would scratch the screen. It does contain an abrasive, because I know you can't use it on wood, it will take the finish right off. Right from their website: Not recommended for use on surfaces that are polished/glossy, or on brushed, satin, dark, or faux...

    should I upgrade?

    OK thanks for the info so far. No I will not be overclocking. I am looking for a very stable machine. So I guess whether I upgrade or not is definitely dependent on this: Would my current video card even be able to run the 27" monitor? If not what would be better for the 27" monitor...

    CRT,LCD,SED,or Plasma which is better?

    uhh you just picked which one you liked better. Anyones guess? There is a difference On normal TV, which is what I think most people use them for, the LCD at larger sizes will looked blurred and more pixelated (sp?). The plasma will not have to deal with that.
