The way its going it looks like am gona have to get a PCI IDE card as most boaard only have 1.What mobo would you recomend

[kejot]

not many new boards have 2 ide ports due to chipset limitations, but some are about, my asus p5nd2 sli has 2 ide sockets, as does my foxconn, also if you want a sli setup most of those boards are a bit more as well, rather than buying two cheaper cards, you might be better getting one good card, and then spending the extra on a better motherboard/ram

[jonc]

do i realy need a sli setup i was recommened to get this setup.I was planning on getting a 7600gt or 7900gt just for now and then later get a DX10 card.Lisen sorry for been pain i have a budget of £500 any chance of you recommending me some parts

[kejot]

1. no need for sli at mo, unless you can pick a pair of cards cheaply
2. do you need duo2 6300, or would older dual core do???
3. any other parts need upgrading??? psu/ram


twin 7600gt's about £160
dx10 8800 gts £190, now what id rather get...........

something like this

[kejot]

[jonc]

ye i want to go with Core 2 Duo,i was told to try and get a 775 DDR2 mobo.You know your board "asus p5nd2" is that a good 1,i dident realise upgrading would be so hard
i heard the memory on that card wasent tat good for a DX 10

[kejot]
