It's possible, i definitely wouldn't expect anything below that.

However if you compare it to the 3870x2, it launched at that price, and Nvidia cards are normally more expensive... So I assume it is going to cost more.

i'd say so, mine idles at 20c not overlocked w/ a zalman hsf.

also ASUS boards are notorious for exaggerating temps

well i don't have much experience with virus's, however I would suggest reformatting if you don't have anything very important on your drive.

as for anti-virus and a firewall, AVG is a good free anti-virus program and windows has a firewall program built in, if you're using a router it should have one as well.

I have a 512mb Nvidia 8800gt graphics card. I'd like to know if getting a second card and using it with SLI technology will increase my performance noticeably, improve the fps and allow me to max out the graphics. Thanks

btw, I play games such as Crysis, Company of Heroes, Half-Life 2.

I don't think you can max half-life 2 with 2 8800gt's in sli....

....what?

a single 8800gt can max HL2

8.3 lbs is not really portable. That's more of a desktop replacer.RK-Mara

agreed, and 17" laptops are HUGE (imo anyway), but sadly those seem to be the only ones with high end graphics cards.

Type DXDIAG in RunLahiruD

what he said, start menu/run...

type "dxdiag" and open
