Requests for more hardware guides?
Posted: April 17th, 2006, 17:45
I want to make another hardware guide, but I don't know what topic to make it on. Does anyone want to know the nitty-gritty about anything hardware?

Are you asking for a AGP -> PCI-Express transition guide? There really isn't much to it.Pog Dants wrote:Recently I've been looking at upgrading from AGP to PCI-E, with a mind for a dual setup (under the assumption that it'll make it easier to upgrade by buying an extra card later). I've already got a setup in mind, which I'll be buying next week, but a guide on it would have been most useful and would have given Berk a break from my questioning.
Maybe a more general system building guide for current-gen stuff?Dog Pants wrote:Bah. Well I'm getting a new CPU too. And what does Nforce4 do? And what about SLi vs Crossfire? And is SLi worth it? And what PSU would I need for dual graphics cards? Can I run a dual card mobo with just one card?
All these questions and more I harrassed the good Doctor with, and might be worth putting somewhere.
SLi is better than Crossfire. SLi is worth it. You would need 480W< for the best performance with dual cards. You can run a dual card mobo with one card.Dog Pants wrote:Bah.

And note Berk's avatarDr. kitteny berk wrote:now all you need to do is explain why.
oh, and get your facts right, and write balanced and un-biased arguments, and state some sources.
Yes, if you're refering to the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2, I have one, and IME, they're plenty fast enough for most peopleFatherJack wrote:Are motherboards which have both AGP and PCI-E worth it?
