    Scooped up a 7970 at Microcenter

    LOL well I did spell the name wrong so I can see how one would be confused. However, anyone who has done the research on the new line of cards would know that they only come in 3gb versions. I played Crysis Warhead for about 10mins and was hitting 45-110fps give or take. Thats full maxed out...

    Scooped up a 7970 at Microcenter

    I was going to order one but they were all sold out. I just so happened to look on MC website and ran a search for 7970 and 1 Gygabyte version popped up @$579. I know thats $30 more than what they are going for but I live right down the street and was still under my 30 days to return my 6950. I...

    Windows 7 on two hard drives in same computer?

    Thanks for all the input guys. I learn more and more everyday here. The new MOBO is a gigabyte ga-z68x-ud3h-b3 while the old one was a ga-z68ap-d3. I will try the clean install and see if I have any issues. Hopefully it will pass the test and I wont have to deal with Microsoft.

Then I will remove that HDD like I would be if I were to buy a new HDD and install windows all over again. Then I want to just swap out what HDD I want to use depending on...

    Windows 7 on two hard drives in same computer?

    Right. I will reformat the old drive completely for a fresh install. So once I reformat both drives and install windows separately on each drive I will be able to use them accordingly provided that only the drive I want to use in attached? That's perfect. However, I do not think I will be able...

    Windows 7 on two hard drives in same computer?

    I recently completed my first build within the last two weeks. After tinkering with everything for a while I decided to pull my HDD out of my old Dell and use that as a backup. I then got to thinking about how it might be useful to install Windows on each hard drive and use whichever one I...
