Not only will you need 300w for your V/C
You will need a new O/S too.

Great news that! Now I know for sure that I will be waiting to do the next upgrade. No sense upgrading now to find out that I am totally behind on everything in 2-3 months.

It is acceptable to me to be behind the curve after 6 months, but not 2-3.

You just bought a 6800? Why not a 7900? Just curious.

Boomslang · « **Reply #431 on:** September 11, 2006, 05:34:45 PM »

Not worth the $500 for the agp.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #432 on:** September 12, 2006, 01:04:22 PM »

That would be reasonable.

Have you finally switched to water cooling or jumped up to liquid nitrogen yet?

ZWarrior · « **Reply #439 on:** August 02, 2007, 11:21:29 AM »

I think he is still on air cooling, but I am not positive.
