I knew I saw a little ATI sandwiched between 2 NVidia monsters! I take it you just had it laying around and had a free pci-e slot?

[LathanStanley]

its the old card... I'm gonna make it run winblows in the background..

its a x1600 Pro 512 MB... its not "bad" by any means...

[SwiftSpear]

Ram timings?

[LathanStanley]

it'll run 5-5-5-12 stock,

prolly 4-4-4-12 volted and OC'd a little...

I've got no coolant in it yet, and the silicone is sealing all the joints...

I'll get it running tomorrow..

[SwiftSpear]

Ew, pewpram.

[LathanStanley]

swift, its not poor ram.... DDR2 dosen't have itty bitty timings... it just DOSEN'T...

and all the chips that claim it, are lieing and unstable...

[LathanStanley]

my bad... its alot better than 5-5-5-12...

OCZ PC2-6400 SLI-Ready memory modules are programmed to boot at 800MHz DDR2 with supremely fast timings of 4-4-4 1T. Only motherboards equipped with the custom-designed BIOS, such as those designed for NVIDIA nForce SLI MCPs, can detect the optimized SPD profiles and ensure the memory functions under the best possible conditions.

my bad...

[ralphie]

Yep, it definetely looks like a computer.

[SwiftSpear]

Ah, that's decent for DDR2.

[rattle]

Power consumption is gonna make you poor.

[LathanStanley]

Power consumption is gonna make you poor.

no... thats the female friend...

[hrmph]

Wow, thats really involved!

[Snipawolf]

Jesus, you've built a monster...

[Gota]

And aye, a x1600 pro aint that bad... totally creamed by the now discontinued-because-they-were-too-good-for-their-price-range x1650 XT's... *ahem* excuse me while I stop myself from going into an extensive discussion of how depressed I was when they disappeared and how barely satisfactory a replacement the GT's are...

[Sleksa]

gonna be tedious to move that thing into LAN parties ~,~
