All that effort and only 1 gig of memory.... I mean come on.... 2 gigs.
Dual graphics cards.... Although its a great idea, and the guy doesn't have to pay for it, so no problem there. But So that others know, it's been discovered by several sites that the dual 7800GTX system is CPU bound, so he would need a processor about 15% faster to feed the graphics system to reach their maximum speed.

Just goes to show that some of these new shows are governed by ignorance.

Speaking of pimping my mobo with only 1 Gig of RAM. I bought an external 2.5" 7200 RPM 60GB Firewire drive yesterday. It arrived this morning. :D I'm going on vacation tomorrow, and will need to work while I'm gone, so my Powerbook will be my workstation until I get back.
