  5. ibuypower.com question. The Intel Core 2 DDR3 for $574 and the Intel Core 2 quad for $659 looks like what I need, are the video cards capable of running dual monitors? I run Laser and have 18 charts running on Scottrade. Any thoughts? Any previous buyers from this site? Do they back what they sell with a warranty or extended plan of some kind.
    All replies welcomed, thank you

  6. Where you born yesterday or what?

    Why would you ask someone in here about the PC maker's offers if you know damn well they can change day to day?

    Hint: Im sure they have a 800 number where they will answer your important questions. Wouldn't that make more sense?

  7. No, not YET.

    My main data store runs on a DAS subsystem though, with at the moment 13 discs, all velociraptor.

    I can see moving that to SSD's should I get into IO problems ;) RIght now the price is not there yet, though it is not THAT bad (as: you can replace a RAID 10 (strip mirror, looses 50% capacity) with a RAID 5 or 6 that looses only one or two discs capacity and still be faster), but I did not have the need yet.

    Lets see where I end up with when my data collection starts fully.

    Dude relax, did you lose money today?

    The guy's question was really not offensive in any way, amateurish, but no need to attack him!

    Yeah i didn't get that either.
    The dude wasn't even asking about any of those dreaded "dealer deals" anyway.

    He asked if the video cards in those systems would support multiple computers.
