Sure, any supported card would work.deadlyrampage said:would a 9800GTX card work with this configuration.
I would recommend putting Windows on a separate drive.deadlyrampage said:Also lets say I want windows 7 and windows xp, do i keep it on the same hard drive or but another one.
Also with the guide I dont think you mentioned with the 1TB do you need to partition it, because i remember that If it is 1 TB it causes problems.
!) Yes if it's the first boot drivedeadlyrampage said:with the hard drive will chameleon automatically see the windows drive.
Also with connecting the hard drive do i connect it with the white or blue connectors.
With the guide you didnt be very detailed. Any pictures.?
Right now my i7-930 over clocked to 3.6 GHz idles at 39-40 C in a 68 F/20 C room. Under load prime95, 8 workers is running at 66 C.jonnynogood said:i have had some random dropouts of the keyboard as welli just ran the cord to a front panel USB for now.
thanks again for the info here, its a screaming fast machine. I put a crucial C300 SSD in it and its the fastest mac that i have ever used.
here is the latest geekbench score.

its a really amazing machine. i am using a H50 cooler and a fairly cold location for the machine. i am about 75º when running prime95 for a few hours and i have been running Rembr at the same time while working in lightroom, email, itunes and transmission to see if i can get it to crash. so far so good for the past few hours.
I also bought a Firewire 800 card from newegg that works perfectly out of the box (no driver needed)
(the card has a power connector that i have not plugged in yet) but it works with 2 drives and a card reader attached.

3 FW800 ports
+ the new usb drivers from Lacie this turned into one seriously great sub $1700 computer
