Hey all, I have a question about my motherboard. Can it support ATi CrossFire? It is an PoX EP-5P945C LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813123014)
It isn't labeled on the box or instruction manual anywhere, so I am not going to throw away ~$130 on two video cards and not be able to use them. Thanks!

Also, if not, could you recommend one for mid-level gaming (BF2, Doom 3, WoW, FSX, Gmod, etc...) on a budget of about $130? Thx!

I am looking at the the specs and comparing it to the the AMD Dual core and I can't really see any realistic improvements.

Looking at the the two systems in general the Mobo's are pretty crap that support the Quad Cores... Unless you start shelling out double what you need for an equivalent AMD setup.

You can get pure SLI crossfire setups using an AMD for a fraction of the price...

Has any one done any real testing to compare the systems.. Am I right in thinking the quad core is just overated overpriced marketing gimicks using the old (you get what you pay for) to mislead people?

MY understanding is that Intel actually license a chunk of the 64 bit technology from AMD anyway... I wonder just how much the have given them.

I play a lot of PC games such as Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Counter-Strike: Source, rFactor, etc.

I have heard that Vista has trouble playing certain games.

My computer has a NVIDIA GeForce 7900 PCI-Express video card, ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 motherboard, and 1GB of RAM but am thinking about adding another 512 MB - 1 GB.

Would I be okay upgrading to Vista? If so, should I?

My asus computer is 2 years old. When i right click on Partition C, under properties it says 9.75Gb capacity, while when i click on Partition D it says 27.4 Gb capacity.
Combined it makes 9.75+27.4=37.15 Gb of memory, space available.
This is huge!!!!
Why when i do buy a computer i read often under memory: 1Gb or 2Gb?
What is that?
I need to understand it better.

Are there any differences in these processors or is it just a matter of name preference? I am getting confused by all the pc shops using these different terms.
