it's the HD 6530D

that's all I know >w>

It will apparently work with a 6670, but the 6570 is recommended

I don't think GDDR5 would make a difference in this scenario.

Hmm, I see, AND I would be getting a niftly HDMI port.

Thanks spleen, you're a big help

[SpleenBeGone]

HDMI ports ARE nifty. >.>

You're welcome.

What kind of slots do you have on that motherboard?

[Wolf]

GA-A55M-DS2 http://www.gigabyte....spx?pid=4161#ov

Looks like a PCI-E 2.0 slot

[SpleenBeGone]

Nifty, I was trying to see what sort of upgrade path you'd have.

Also, just realized I didn't put a pass key on the work computers for SMP so no bonus points, gotta do that tomorrow. >.>

I'm hoping to start adding ebay gpus to the old computers at work, I've got 4 or 5 left with pci-e slots. Should be a nice little boost up for Nerd Forum. >.>

How many more points until we win the plastic pencil topper?

[SpleenBeGone]

I'll send you a plastic pencil topper if you complete a WU.

[Wolf]

I'll hold you to it ;D

I'll start F@H whenever I get to feelin better.

All my hours on PSH should totally count, too

*in Andy voice*

"That's bullshit, you're rascist"

[SpleenBeGone]

WOO!

[Wolf]

That was meant to be said with a bitchy inflection, not a matter-of-factly inflection

I'll probably get nothing from those hours on psh >.>

[SpleenBeGone]

Probably not.

[SpleenBeGone]

Gonna see how far a 630 will OC and still turn in work units. Wish me luck. >.>

So I was scrounging up some parts to set up another little box, and it needs DDR2 ram it seems. THERE IS NO DDR2 IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING!
I did however end up with 9 sticks of DDR1, for a whopping total of 2.75GB of RAM.

This isn't Asia, there isn't Dance Dance Revolution in every sto-


oh wait, you meant RAM

First world computer problems?

First world computer problems?

Just remember, somewhere in the world someone is using a Model 5150

and enjoying it.

[SpleenBeGone]

I think my cousin had one of those when I was little. >.>

[SpleenBeGone]

The little 630 is still chugging away at beta units, one every other day worth 14k points. I bet a 650ti would really fly with them.
