Ordered FireGL 8800 and FireGL 7700 (this is same as 3870 but with GDDR4 instead for bandwidth increase over GDDR3).
I hope these are made with good quality components.
Cheers,
Almost all HD3870 was manufactured with GDDR4. And it only had marginally better bandwidth than GDDR3. But I'd assume the FireGL series does have higher quality components.
Most HD3870 I find are GDDR3, also which what mine is with rarely seen copper heatsink style with larger coarse spaced blower blades, unless there is a way to check the vram is GDDR4 or 3?
Ahh, about the Micron P300 100GB SSD, either that with PCI-X 3ware 4 port SATA, in PCI mode, which works with my Proliant 1500 (pentium 200 currently), really works using SATA 2 160GB Samsung hard drive or SiS 754 board.
On Proliant 1500 this combo works well with DOS partitioned as 2GB and does boot.
