    Thanks Vic, I ended up purchasing this RAM after some research. Just need to figure out what bank slots they work in and if I'll have to disable XMP... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211897&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-

    Yes, so I can manually set the minimum to 16 mb and the maximum to say 12-16k mb? I will have to look but it seems to be an "issue", if you will, reporting maximum pagefile usage. Would increasing my ram from 8gb to 16gb be helpful? If so can you recommend any Ram that is compatible with my...

    Looking to Upgrade

    If I let the system manage the file size, I cannot go beyond the amount of ram I have. Although it says the recommended amount is about 12k but I have to set this manually to achieve that? That being said if I set it manually I'm not sure of what to set the minimum or maximums to. Also I read...

    I currently have the pagefile box unchecked and the max I can set it to is about ~8000 if I check the box. Does this sound about right?

    Got it installed, pulling out the old cards was the hardest part! The 6 to 8 pin adapter worked just fine...my PSU already had a 8 pin adaptive piece but it didn't fit in the card so I just used the one the card came with instead... Anyway, couple quick questions. While monitoring the GPU...

    Hi Vic, Should get the card today. Thinking ahead, I believe my current GPU setup (Xfired Radeon AMD 6950 HDs) uses (2) 6 pin connectors. I believe the GTX 970 requires (1) 6 pin and (1) 8 pin. However, I believe the card might come with a 6 to 8 pin adapter... Do you see any issues? C.

    Upgrading from Radeon HD 6850 to EVGA GTX 970...what to expect?

    HI Matter, I am curious as to how you got along installing your GTX 970. I just ordered an MSI GTX 970 which will be replacing my 2 AMD 6950s. I'm hoping for a clean swap =) C.

    Looking to upgrade from a HD 6950

    Hello, I really wanted to know if OP easily swapped out his 6950s for a GTX 970, as I read above, with no issues. I opened my own thread but found this one browsing through. I settled on ordering a MSI GTX 970 after much research.

    I found a MSI GTX 970 on Newegg for about $320.00USD. I think I am going to order it today =)

    Hi Vic, I think I am going to purchase a GTX 970 today. Any specific manufacturer you recommend? Might just get one off Newegg... After reading online the only variance is that the card runs on a PCIe 3.0 x 16 however I read that PCIe 2.0 x 16 would work just fine (which my MoBo has). Best, CK
