Mr Git to you

Word of advice - don't skimp on the power supply!
From personal experience, Hiper and Enermax are very good.
The Enermax 600W has 2x PCI-E power adaptors specifically for an SLI set-up.

Spotted that one earlier, thanks though
Really want one with VIVO though.

One question, are these 7800's capable of driving 2 monitors at the same time? My current 9800pro can and I doubt I could go back to a single screen again!

Basically yes, if the server is full and a clan member wants to get on, we boot the lowest scoring joe public off - seems the only fair option.

I'll be on tonight for sure - so hopefully see you then.
We're not that 'serious' a clan, more a group of like minded peeps.

See you chaps tonight.

BTW we only have 28 clan members and 40 slots on the server.
But, we only ever get about 18 clan members on at one time..

I hate people that can fly planes well. The only warning I get from imminent death is hearing the jet engine getting louder.
Is there a site that has screen caps of BF2 in maximum detail?
Was playing last night in 1024x768 medium detail and thought it looked pretty good. Need to justify next weeks expense to myself
