Dreaming

The time has come to replace this PC and let it finish life as a server. I've been reading all about Scalable Link Interface (SLI) which was originally thought to be Scan Line Interleave. This is a tekkie way of saying two video cards for one monitor. Yes, TWO video cards. Hey, if your gonna' dream...and since this machine will be used primarily for gaming (My name is Dock and I am a GuildWars addict) SLI seems to be the latest greatest in the way of speed demon machines.

Down through the years I have always opted for Intel processors. There was an AMD K6-2 machine on my network many years ago and it never had any problems other than user. After much research, this time it looks like an AMD 64 (Winchester .90mm) due to the glowing reviews and the cost. Intel is just too expensive. They scream and are dependable, but building this PC will take many months of piggy banking and I wish I had it now. This decision is not final and will happen when money is in hand, but so far it looks like the AMD processor and a 939 motherboard.



Since I have a 160 SCSI card and some 10,000 spin drives they may be utilized. Memory has to be at least a gig and Mudslingr's clear glowing case is a definite. May make the cables red instead of green, give it an Ole Miss look. A new monitor will have to accompany the purchase so the DVI connection can be utilized. Now we are well into a grand, maybe two. Hmmmm, perhaps Christmas next year?

Have to stop dreaming and get to work! Have a joyous Monday!
