With...? And which order should I install them?Alexrose said:Partition the drive twice.
First use either the vista or 7 disk for the first install, then try the other one, if there is no option to partition, use the linux as a live cd to partition it (use gparted), then finally install whichever linux distribution you please (assuming it uses grub, which most seem to), doing any final partitioning with the linux distro (windows can't create ext file systems or swap partitions so definitely use your linux distro for the meat of the partitioning).playallday said:With...?

Probably just a glitch in the detection of memtest. Tot test stability I tend to use orthos / prime95 instead though, not that it matters much if you purely want to test the mem. But I wonder, why are you running memtest if you are running at 5-5-5-18 which is in specs?playallday said:OK, this is odd. In Windows 7 with CPU-Z it says my RAM is running at 5-5-5-18 which is right, but right now I'm running memtest64+ and it says "5-3-3-26". What's up with that?
OK, so guess there's nothing big about it. I've already run prime95 for a bit, and it works with no errors. I was running memtest84+ for a few hours to make sure all the sticks were good (and it told me it passed 5 times with no errorsScorpei said:Probably just a glitch in the detection of memtest.

yes, flip the cable the other way aroundplayallday said:Hmm... The floppy drive isn't working. The LED is always on and it says that no disk is in it even that there is. Maybe I put the cable in the wrong way?

Subtotal is $650. Need a way to get it down about $150 without making it junk.
And on top of everything there's like $160 for shipping and handling... Anyone think I can get NewEgg to wave the fees?
EDIT: Updated the system...

I'm not gonna repeat myself again ^^. Aside from that letmegooglethatforyou would have the answer but I did a google instead.Scorpei said:Either go with a SLI/Crossfire setup now, or DON'T get such a setup. Getting such a setup now gives you performance boosts, getting it later makes a slower system then when you get a newer GPU at that time.QUOTE(playallday @ Jun 7 2009, 02:37 AM) I already have this computer. So I'm getting a 4870 (and maybe later CrossFire it) or I could go with a second 4830 to CrossFire with my current card.
Which is the best? Getting one 4870 saves me about $30 and let's me be able to CrossFire it later.
