UFicle: Building an uber-graphics workstation	by Tomo	2008-10-21 10:30:39
Minimum Requirements: Windows XP Professional Intel Dual-core CPU 2 or 3GB RAM nVidia graphics card supporting OpenGL 2 and Shader Model 3 with minimum of 512MB VRAM. It may be necessary to upgrade to SLI, so need the option to do so! Bare minimum of pre-installed rubbish. (Hard disk is irrelevant - it'll use a max of 500MB on top of the OS and drivers) Does anybody know where can I get a pre-built system like that in the UK? I used to use Systemax and Dell, but neither seem to supply that sort of thing anymore. Failing that: Where would you recommend I get the parts? Which motherboard would you recommend? And - Where do I buy Windows XP? (OEM licence is fine, but !) - Reason being that I've been dumped in it by a salesman. We suddenly need a seriously powerful GPU where previously an Eee PC would have done the job! (And it's got to be on my desk next week)

Last I checked, you could still buy XP at Newegg. (n/t)	by radiowave911	2008-10-21 10:33:43
