Freezer7Pro: I don't come here a lot anymore.; +1,447|6463|Winland

So, the situation is as follows:

I have two main stationary computers right now; One 4800+@5200+/HD2400Pro and my gaming rig, an E7200@3.6/8800GT.

The E7200 has a horrid heatspreader, and runs quite unstable even at 3.6GHz, where it also reaches 70+C, often causing many funky errors. This is partially due to quite poor airflow where I have the computer, but it's mainly the CPU.

The plan is to sell the E7200, the GA-P35-DS3 that it's mounted in, and GeminII cooler for quite cheap, and instead get another 8800GT to stick in the 4800+, together with my current one, as it has a SLI mobo.

I rarely play any games anymore, or even use the computer, and I definitely never utilize the CPU to it's full potential, so I think the 4800+ would deliver enough juice for what I do. Coupled with another 8800GT, it'd also make an awesome folding machine.

Is this wise or have I gone mad?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Sounds good

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

That won't help against an air bubble under the IHS.

I would if I wouldn't need the money.

Plus, it's already folding.

What I'm saying is that if I could keep it for folding only, I would, but I'm doing this for the money, obviously.
