mudmanc4 Posted February 21, 2007 CID Share Posted February 21, 2007 Freakin awesome!.......The only thing I would have done differently , would have been to get a matched pair of mem sticks, so they play nicer together, in dual channel during high demands Nice ass heat sink And for the PS, a dual 12v rail , in case you add another GPU at some time .

Le_Murphant Posted February 22, 2007 CID Share Posted February 22, 2007 My dad has an old laptop that runs windows 3.1 Officially, it has color, but the lcd is so bad that i'd consider it black and white myself. I think its around 20 Mhz too. I'l try to install vista on it just for fun. Oh wait, I have to check if it has a cd drive first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
