Go with the first one that goat posted.

Damn ramirez, I haven't seen any benchmarks in which the 280 lost... Sweet, maybe I'll switch.

Only problem is that the 4870X2 doesnj't get that nice QAA

I know that you "Can" what I am asking is does DDR3 function differently that DDR2? Is there a reason to run 6 gigs rather than 8. Some kind of triple core reason perhaps?

Here is a quick question that I am stuck on: Is it possible to have 8 gigs of DDR3 ram? I jus notice that with DDR3 they mostly sell it in 3gig and 6gig amounts, rather than 2 gig and such. Is there a reason to this?

Run the 280's. Seriously, they are much slightly better than the 4870's. Also, unless you intend on a really nice monitor, or plan on playing on HUGE resolutions ALL THE TIME, you would more likely be better off with a single card. Realistically, more cards means higher resolution, and occasionally worse performance than a single card. I'm sure many people will disagree with that, but just look at the benchmarks guys.

Also, if you are running the i7, you would be better off using intels new mobo. And as one last recommendation, get 1600 mhz ram, otherwise you won't notice much difference from DDR2 ram.

Please consider these points. Also, this computer is DAMN close to the new one I will be getting.

Black Friday... Psh, never heard of such a thing like that up here in canada. Oh well.

Well, hopefully I will be posting a lot!

As for the music question, I pretty much just pump out what comes to mind, and for the most part, it sounds pretty decent. I haven't actually recorded a whole lot of it though, mostly since the computers I currently have aren't very good with the high end VSTi's. Oh well.

...How the hell is it that a site like GW doesn't even have this thread... Maybe I missed it?

Anyways, I thought maybe I would add it since I wasn't sure where to introduce myself, ANYWAYS:

I'm Myersguy. I have known of GW for a hell of a long time, it's just I never really felt like joining it. Finally I decided I would give it a go and see how it is. I love making signatures, and other graphics of the like. I am also slowly getting into music composition. I am quite intelligible with computers, so hopefully I can help with any problems people have with that sort.

If you ever want a sig made, or need help with a computer, never fear pming me. I like to help (as long as I'm not looking down a list of 2000 requests...)

Hope to get to know some of you!
