    Problem with 285gtx

    Yeah they are both connected with dvi and drivers are installed. Confusing part is why it works with vista and not xp. Better yet with the 4870 only one monitor would work because i couldn't get ccc to load but everything worked perfect on xp

    Ordering soon what do you think

    The Q9450 and Q9550 are the same price and the ram is 13$ difference. Right now i have a stacker 830 which is also huge and i do have plenty of room for it so not worried about that. I run a 22" and 24" sometimes i might play games on the 24 if that makes any difference in video card choices.
