ddavid 149 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Will you be installng a 3-phase supply, Mick?!? Cheers - Dai. :biggrin: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Looks pretty sound to me Mick, those Radeon 5870s are giving the nVidia card a run for their money! It looks pretty good for FSX as well. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I think Dai is jerking your chain a little. Three phase power is industrial grade electric service with three "hot" lines instead of the normal two. It essentialy triples your service capacity by adding only one more wire of the same size - one of the magic features of alternating current. It's seldom seen in residential service.

MartinW 0 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 AMD = No! Who would buy one given that i7 is superior. Intel I7 930 = Yes. Your PSU requirements can be calculated here... Link to post Share on other sites
