Fixed for you Buck, forgot you can't view imageshack attachments.

Vista Ultimate. I believe it's the retail version, just in OEM packaging.

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday.

Got my 8800 GT KO from Huli in the mail today!

I have a third graphics card plugged in right now so I can run SLI on my main screen and use the third graphics card to enable my secondary monitor. I installed the drivers and it found all three cards, but I can't enable SLI. Can I not do this? Do I have to use only 2 cards and switch them out of SLI when I want dual monitors?

I'm having a great Wednesday, Bfisch.

Sounds like you are going to be playing tonight I'm not to sure about the SLi (never owned a SLi desktop), maybe Boyd, Shaz, can help you out.

BFisch06 - multiple monitors are not supported in SLI (3D mode). You can only run multiples in 2D mode if I'm not mistaken.

Howdy Doody everybody!

Spartan-117, Ima gonna have to pick up the hulioni/shazza/Zelly/Buck47 bat phone when the SLi bridge gets in from Alienware tomorrow or the next day...they forgot to put it in the box (only one VGA ordered from Alienware). I did confirm with sales/CS before ordering that the bridge would come with the machine regardless of how many VGAs purchased. I tried!

But only one call to Tech Support one late nite, tech put me on hold for a coupla minutes then came back with the newly created account # and said, "It's in the mail". Ya' really gotta love some Alienware. Will be my first time with SLi too...

Concert morrow night for someone !


Not sure about using multiple monitors if you have say another gpu in a pci slot and then your two in sli. I've always been a fan of one big monitor and not messed with multiple setups other than my laptops with single gpu's. If I need another monitor I just drag out another puter to hook to it .

Got the isp tech comin tomorrow. Goin to set out all the gpu's and see if I can't get him to bite on one . I thought sure someone in here might have wanted a dang near brand new GX2 for 350 but was wrong .

I always try to make someone here a good deal before puttin em up for auction . I have a fair bit of puter parts come through here from time to time .

Couple more pics while shazza had me thinkin bout grabin the camera on the way out the door the last week.

Followin the yellow brick road (er lines).



And this is the one you get to tip Boyd . Note it wasn't me that shaved its ass.

Confirmed SLI and dual monitors don't mix, unless you have an ATI card you through in the 3rd pci-e 16 slot. Even then, there is some driver fanagling to be done.

Huli & others: an fyi: EVGA put out their nVidia card overclocking utility today!!!
LINKY

It's a nice little app too! I'm in XP 32 bit and I'm running dual monitors. I do my gaming in XP 64 bit and I'll set up SLI there. Also ordered AKIMBO coolers today, so they should be in next week.

Been a bit of a long week after the time off. But, I'm feeling like I might go find some buffalo ... that's better than a manatee pic
