Really, if we only get 4 inches, I'm usually out on my motorcycle within 48 hours.
The post office situation is also a different story. I rode 30 miles from Philadelphia PA to Voorhees NJ only to be sent home by the postmaster. There were at least 8 inches down at that time, and the storm ran to over a foot.
Ask Red about the collapse of the "Metro Sack".....
Oh yeah, "Sata 0" is the right position for the OS HDD. Binary math and all that. When you only have 2 choices, zero or one, zero becomes a number.

I'll get right on that.......Yeah the garbage bag dome collapsed from the weight of the 3' of snow, worst stadium in pro sports!
Hey Cap, I just picked up a 27" monitor, not nearly nice as your panel...but its a lot of real estate for........ummmm stuff to look at.
Actually, I'm surprised Fox hasn't made a special about the collapse yet. I bet they'd call it, "When Windbags Attack"......
:haha: :wave:

Real Sportsmen are morally bankrupt and kill pitbulls, after making them mean by feeding them footballs laced with gunpowder.

When you say "next year", do you mean 3 weeks from now, or an interval of time more substantial?

Well ,well, well, whats the matter Vale??? got all that screen real estate and not enough GPU for it ? hmmmm? :haha:
seriously, if its in the near future the GTX 460's are tremendous in SLI, if its a way down the road, The replacement 560's will probably be a touch better, and will handle whatever you care to throw at them.
****btw , a 100 quid is still about $140.00 USD correct?

That depends on what you want to do with it. You like to play with all the details up @ 1920 x 1080...er...1900 x 1200 you're going to need some horsepower yes.
Well they call for a 550w for two of them in SLI, but the more imprtant rating is the Amp rating. would be good to have 35A on the 12v Rail(s)
what make and model is your PSU?
whoa! that high again ey?

well Moiz does know his PSU's,Coolermaster Silent Pro 500W Modular PSU as recomended by the sith lord but in all fairness i didnt require some fancy graphics at the time and its due tomorrow so i have ot go with the best system this PSU can offer
If its this one http://fr.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&id=4196
your good for a pair of 460's that thing has 50A on the 12v rails and will handle them easily.
For that amount I would say that a GTX 570, HD 6950-6970 would do well as a single card setup.
