    SLI Question about Nvidia 7800GT and 7900GT

    I have a BFG 7800GT video card and I was thinking about buying a BFG 7900GT. I have a couple of questions. (1) Can I run a 7800GT and 7900GT in SLI? (2) If I cannot, would I do better buying another 7800GT and use SLI or wait and buy a G80 card? Thanks!

    CPU Upgrade and WinXP

    Thanks for the replies and ACPI PC driver tip! Now I just have to hope that the install of the cpu and the corsair nautilus goes off without any hitches. This is the first time I am trying water cooling.

    CPU Upgrade and WinXP

    I am about to upgrade my cpu from an AMD FX 53 to an FX 60. I would prefer not to have to do a clean install of WinXP. Does anyone know if I can get away with this? I am a bit worried since I am going from a single core to a dual core. Thanks in advance!
