The HD 2900XT Info Thread

My last amd motherboard had less than an inch of space between the cards (X1950 Pros)....yea that sucked. The only thing that saved me was the 250mm fan on the side of my case

Good work! I got 17K out of mine without OCing the cards...Quad adds a good bit to your 06...but altogether very solid rig...

Well I got everything installed only to realize that I needed an elbow to get the water to the cards without kinking the tubing. Luckily, Koolance is about 30 minutes from my house and I picked up a swiveling 90degree nozzle. Now I just have to wait 5 hours before I can get home and fire it up. =(

4. Based on the average height of objects in Deep Freeze figure out how long the "Crop Circle" is
5. Count the scales on the underside of the beast in Canyon Flight

I surf the net on my laptop as well. But I watch the screen from time to time to make sure there are no crashes.

I need a laptop, I miss my K6 with 96MB of ram that would play MDK and Dune II asskickingly well.
