Sucks you can't answer all questions THEN hit the button.
Answer - scroll down - hit button - scroll down-answer - scroll down hit button....epic fail in "ease of use" department.

This thread should come with a 56k warning just for the ridiculous number of times the page has to reload..

 

[AmberClad]

What am I supposed to answer for "What type of case do you have?" ? Mini-tower? But it's not a tower...that sort of implies that it's taller than it is wide.

 

[Ika]

I think HTPC should be added to the "What kind of case do you have?" question.

In any case, I was just going over the Valve system survey a few hours ago... some of the responses here clash with those (most notably, the Vista 64bit one - Valve says something like 2.31% of people are using Vista x64.

Many more people are running multiple monitors than I thought... oh well. Everything else was exactly as I thought it would be.

Give me a classification for this and you win the prize!

As you wish - HTPC was added to the "What kind of case do you have?" question.

I saw Valve survey about week ago and I was surprised how many people are still using old tech. - IDE, AGP, CRT etc. Problem for Vista is that lots of people that dont know shit about computers believe myths about Vista (for examle: "Its spyware" "You need Quadcore and 8GB RAM for Vista to work" "It will delete your pirated SW" etc. etc.). In poll about which OS are people using at Hardforum results were similar to what you can see here.

 

[MegaVovaN]

Valve games run just fine on AGP/CRT/XP. And certainly on IDE.

Is that sli on a P5K? Am I confused? I thought you needed an Nvidia chipset.
