Ok thanks!

So I was just looking at my CPU usage, got 12 GB's of RAM as of today, so was in the window. I noticed that alot of the CPU usage was coming up red: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/udklipt.png/ Anyone know why / what this is? Got an i5 750 @ 2.67GHz (quad) 12gb 1333hz :)

Ok, so now that a 6870 has been decided, I need to choose between one of the following: HIS Radeon 6870 Saphire Radeon 6870 GigaByte OC Radeon 6870

It already has SLI enabled, but it says nothing about crossfire, but I'm assuming that it can do crossfire due to an earlier post here, which states that it should be able to.

I have a 128GB realSSD from crucial, sadly not m4, but it has trim enabled. 355 read, 140 write. If you make sure it has TRIM, the data loss should'nt be a problem for atleast the next 5 years, so to all the haters who are jealous of SSD - It's not that bad! the price is high yes, but so is...

Pretty old thread, not sure if i should bump it :D But great guide for people who are are new to this, just got my first stationary, gonna mod the shit out of it! :D

As Solaris17 says, the microcode is confidential. To get someone to reprogram it for you, you would have to go talk + pay intel themselves and use alot of time, not sure it's worth it :( Good luck with this anyways! :) ~Vigorsol

As mentioned, space won't be your problem. as long as your mobo can take 1600Mhz, and it's ddr3 both of them, then you're good to go! Good luck upgrading! ~Vigorsol

Ok thanks alot :) so basicly, it can CF. Though im gonna start with a single 6870, i think my first upgrade after that will be a http://www.komplett.dk/k/ki.aspx?sku=513219#extra click the link and you will see. That site is danish, I'd prefer the hardware i buy to be from there. that's their...

Ah my mobo can't take crossfire as far as i know, only SLI. So 2x Nvidia or 1x Radeon :/ Lookup the EVGA P55v and you'll see it sucks. have USB 1 D:

The mobo EVGA p55v, if you look it up, you'll see the overclocking function isn't even included in this mobo. After i upgrade my graphics, I'll be looking into a new mobo, still LGA1156, unless I at that time have money for another CPU, than I'll get myself an 1155 socket, which allowes me to...

Hello again everyone! I'd like to start off by saying Merry Christmas / Happy holidays / Enjoy your vacation! That being said, i wish to ask of you yet more advice for my new rig. It has an EVGA geforce 250GTS 1gb (HDMI version)in it. I have en i5 750 @ 2.7GHz quad core, 4gb 1333MHz RAM...

Please understand that in my current situation, I do NOT have the money to buy a new computer. I just need to find a cheap quad core for this chipset. Anyone?:confused:

I don't have that money, i was just showing you how much that CPU was gonna cost me. If you check my link, you can see which CPU's are compatible with my computer. It's the best i can get for my laptop. Well anyways, my point is i know how to upgrade my laptop, so i can inform you of this much...

Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade my notebook, I already put an 128 GB SSD, Real SSD c300, 355 mb/s read, 140 mb/s write. I've opened it up quite a bit, and figured out what's upgradable myself; I can upgrade CPU and RAM. i only have 32 bit, so i'd have to get a new OS if i wanted more RAM...
