My big folder is finally up and running. FX8350 and two 960GTXs. Can't wait to see the next two updates. Should be massive. Had a bunch of trouble getting fahcontrol to see both cards at the same time. I couldnt' even manually configure them. Had to install one card at a time and change then...

While I was going through some boxes in my closet I found a MSI K9 mobo. I remember four 9800 GT cards folding proteins 24/7. I then proceeded to log into Maximum PC forums to see who was still lurking there, only to find they have closed it down. Sad. I then downloaded the new client which...

No options for cd/dvd. Just one bios.

You have integrated graphics. Which will not run that game. You will need a graphics card to play that game. The 8400gs is a separate graphics card. The 8400gs plays that game at low settings.
