[/quotemsg] kept it on windows xp.. as a web browsin computer cant fault it.. it wont play games of any decent spec and wont run 3d studio max.. but as a basic computer its ok.. [/quotemsg] Well then that's it, I'll get an SSD. I tried the 5670 gpu and it didn't have any effect and so now I...

Well I waited a year for Skyrim to work out the bugs before I bought it so I guess I can wait a year for the 14 nm Broadwell/Skylake platform. It'll give me some time to save for it and a few more games, imagine I am a grandfather who is addicted to this stuff. It's just an amazing time and wish...

I've been waiting a week for my 970 from Amazon, hopefilly you have better luck. I will probably cancel my order and wait until next year for some more testing since I can't decide between 4790k and 5930k. If I go 5930 then I'll get a 980 and be set up for a few years.

Yes it has SATA.

Right now it does not have a GPU and I could add the 5670? Has anybody tried speeding up a similar computer with the SSD?

I have been trying to speed up my 8 year old computer that was used for Autocad back in the day with hundreds of files that I need to keep. The computer has a P4 2.93Ghz on a RC410 mobo mATX. I have installed 2GB Crucial ram, new TIM, cleaned it and it did speed up logon from ~6 min down to ~4...
