Is it one piece of crap or two pieces of crap though? Software has nothing to do with hardware being crap!!! I'm taking this crap (two-$hits?) to someone who knows computers Tuesday!

It's called "crap path" dammit not pieces of crap. And since it's all mashed together it's dualcrap card that needs a dualcrap aware OS.

Well the MAJOR problem is right now is it's 2 pieces of crap.

Someone must have goofed because when I got the card and opened it, I noticed the 2 cards were stuck together!!!

Talk about a pain trying to seperate them, but after doing so I inserted them into my motherboard and I am getting stuttering all over the place!!

Should I still overclock?

Lol and make sure to overclock your case fans too so your overclocked PSU doesn't overheat ;)

Whoa there, if he overclocks his fans his PSU won't have enough power to overclock anything else. Wait.....never mind, he'll be fine. He's got an Enermax 350W PSU with 2 amps on the 12V rail ;)

Look, you are all a$$holes who do not want to help me. I am right, you are wrong.

I have bought quad opterons, 12Gb of RAM, a 1900XTX (which I plan to crossfire with an S3 Virge) and a 300w ColorsIT PSU. Trying to fit it all into a Shuttle case. It should work ok but I'm having trouble getting the bits into the case, and that doesn't include the 1900XTX. I gave my dealer an advance payment of about $60,000 for that so I decided he should look after it for me. I plan to install this on tuesday when my brains arrive, I have ordered 29 tons of sheep dung to insert into my head.


My system runs sh!t, what could be wrong?

Tell me you bunch of hopeless a$$holes, because it's all YOUR fault.


:D

See. Isn't all this pulling together of ideas and helping another member much better than all the usual bickering.

Feel the love. ;)

That love you feel is everyone getting together to "hate" another member in unison. So, there still is a target. Without a target, some of you may have nothing to talk about. LOL.

I'm just waiting for the oblivious "technoob" that we all seem to be apparently annoyed by to come in here and actually suggest OCing solutions to everyone's "problem" in this thread :laugh: *eats popcorn*

I think some of you may be missing the obvious.

You NEED the dongle. Call up Nvidia and ask them to have ATI send you a dongle so you can crossfire that sucker.
