Change the Power Supply to a better quality one from corsair

would it be possible to run ubuntu on that?

if your going for a 5770 then why not: this xfx one for£126.01 or this power color card for £123 (being reference design im assuming brand doesnt really matter)

maybe you could get a mini-itx 775 board, undervolted q9550 and passively cooled gpu. this would require less cooling, be smaller, and require less power while still being pretty powerful. sounds like a cool idea if you've got the skills to pull it off.

what about the uk :(

do laptop coolers work? it looks like they just blow cool air against the case, not inside it

hi, ive got a macbook (2ghz c2d, 2gb ddr3, 9400m) which im using for 3d design and rendering. would leaving the computer on for 1-2 days at a time rendering the 3d animation cause damage to the processor? thanks raceway99

sounds cool but pointless if the graphics card isn't good enough

sounds cool how powerful a card would i need for two 1280x1024 monitors? also would it be possible to have two monitors on basic pci gpu, and one monitor on the onboard graphics just for basic use, and another on a powerful card pci-e card (i'm assuming the different cards would need 3 different...

thanks i know about 4850/4870x2 and gtx295 but they are very powerful and very expensive. im thinking about having 3 monitors, but none of them need very much power. And multiple pci-e boards are expensive. are their any cheap single cards which support 3 monitors? thanks again raceway99

just curious if ive got a mobo with one pci-e x16, could i use a riser to split it up into two pci-e x8 and slot in two gpus? thanks raceway99

i find my macbook much better than my old pcs in pretty much every aspect. but with windows 7 coming out i think the gap could close between macbooks and, lets say, dell xps. because of this i really dont think macs are worth the extra money (unless like pcfixed says you need to use software...

i may be wrong but i wasnt aware laptop graphics cards could be upgraded

Ive got windows 7 RC running in boot camp on a unibody macbook and also on a packard bell pc. Both have similar hardware and both perform similarly and are very reliable. i don't think its necessary, especially with the bigger latency and price tag of ddr3 over ddr2 sorry i cant help with...
