This is interesting. I'm in the process of upograding my own box and am considering an ASUS motherboard with SLi - two graphics cards running simultaneously. This is, of course, designed for gaming but I am thinking that I might be able to run them at a much lower "intensity" and use a silent cooling system. Anyone got any thoughts about that? ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
