Seems to me it is fine. But how about a dual monitor PCI card. But little bit expensive. Here's one combination. Main board Video card That video card have two DVI ports. Don't worry. With the package you get 2 adapters.
Thanks for the input, you do have me a little confused though- I do run two monitors and it's kinda important it stays that way, the evga one says it is dual dvi (i use two old crt's so guessed I would need two dvi-vga adapters) would that not allow me a dual monitor setup?
Well all the bits arrived today and it's running silky smoooth. 9463 in 3dmark '06/15226 in '05. Hell of an upgrade from an amd2500+ with an agp 6600gt card whoooya!
If you want to gain more speed from your HDD: HD321KJ Samsung 320GB 7200rpm 16MB cache SATA2 Mobo: GIGABYTE MA69G-S3H AMD 690G+SB600
It came to £599 in the end (I took the BFG 8800gts in the end) that was including delivery and an extra £10 for saturday delivery.
Thanks for the pointer, however I ordered all the parts about a week ago now :doh: Plus I am a Western Digital whore, stupid to be brand loyal in computing I know but I just can't stop myself hehe
