Building a computer, advice? Opinions?
#10
RE: Building a computer, advice? Opinions?
I see no reason why that set up can't play pretty much any game out there on the market. Something to consider, though, if you have the money. I have four 500 gig harddrives set up in Raid 10. I prefer a Raid system for my hds because it runs faster and is striped, so if one fails, I can replace it and don't lose any of my data. It's is a bit pricey but worth it when you consider the protection it adds. I'm assuming that the hd you have chosen is a SATA hd. Is that correct?

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
