I really wish there was a way to SLI two GT 635 OEM or GT 730 cards. Anyone know of a hack to SLI cards that do not have official Nvidia SLI support. I understand it would be software SLI if possible.

I thought about installing a 256GB SSD drive (have an extra one) and decided against it. AHCI and SSD in XP sounds like it will end up being a PITA at some future date. Sticking with just a single 250GB hard drive.

I can confirm now that the GT 740 is slightly slower than the GTX 750

That is awesome! Too bad Nvidia doesn't archive all their old drivers the way they use to.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units (I have misplaced a much better Nvidia GPU reference, if you know it please post a link) the GTX 460 768MB uses about 3 times the power of a GTX 750 but should almost equal its performance. Bandwidth and fill rates …

I am sure there are games that will have issues. This is fun for me for several reasons. I can build a small, quiet, power efficient box that stomps the crap out of what I had back when the games came out. I am ok with the fact that some games may not look 100% correct or may even fail to run …

HP DC7900 CMT with exact same specs as the HP DC7900 SFF I used, even the same hard drive so software is definitely the same. Nvidia GTX 750 Far Cry Here we see that enabling HDR barely makes an impact and it looks like the x4 slot is not hindering performance. Resolution: 1280×1024 Ultra quality …

Ok this is just a rule of thumb list I'm making for myself. Nothing too fancy, expensive or hard to obtain. Sound about right to you? Basically just need the following. Core 2 Duo CPU, looks to me like a Wolfdale core is the one to get (I have an E8400, 3.0 GHz). No sense in getting a quad core for …

fyy is the x4 slot physically a x4 slot or just electrically? If it is a physically full length slot plug in an x16 video card and enjoy. If it is the physically shorter slot then you have two choices, cut the back side of the slot out or cut your card. I have cut a card before and it works rather …

Phil, On this box I do not notice any difference, it has plenty of RAM and CPU. The issue was with the Nvidia installer, unsure if the HDMI drivers actually require SP3 but it seemed like it did. The video drivers extracted from the installer worked fine on SP2. obobskivich, I will try a GTX750 soon …

Alright I am not going to fight some of the issues I have had with Nvidia's installer requirements and a couple of other minor details so I installed XP SP3. HDMI audio is now functioning.
