' Wrote:Geforce 2 Go runs both Morrowind and anything older than 2002 brilliantly. And FL, if you're into that sort of thing.:PIf you want one they were only 5000-6000 USD back then...
Other updates on the computer front: My computer is now absolutely maxed. Literally. I recently bought 4GB
of RAM for it (up to 8) and another hard drive, so there's no space at all left in the chassis - I just barely
managed to squeeze in a 4cm fan with strips and duct tape to try and cool the system to reasonable levels.
Before that the new hard drive that the graphics card now rests on was 1C from max temps all the time,
and the graphics card idled in the high 80s somewhere. :P
Next stop is probably SSD-land and/or a graphics card update somewhere down the line, probably to a 6670 or the new 7000 series, whenever that's out.
From reading the quote that was in the post above...... you are nuts!
Seriously, get a bigger case, your computer will love you for it.
Having the components running at such high average temperatures is just not good for them and so their lifetimes will be shorter than usual.

' Wrote:Bit overkill but I built it myself so it was cheap as chips
Nah
The only overkill thing is the power supply. Your not going to be pulling anywhere near that. Even with that OC.
Unless you just play Freelancer and older games then yeah its Overkill :D

You can probably run 2 systems like that on that specific PSU.
