*scratches head* Why would dave want that in a uni house

[staffsMike]

620w is enough for one GTX...two you need around 800w and hope you arent paying the power bills..

Heh, all the work I've gotta do, reading lots of PDFs

(oh, and 3 other housemates)

[Metier9]

my system 1 and 2 dont even come to 800W hehe

In all seriousness, the best reason for having 2 lines is the increase in upstream bandwidth - which when you are sharing an internet connection, is the most crucial bit

[Metier9]

One of my old housemates wanted to limit everyone to X% of bandwidth hehe... e.g. chopping the 10mb internet connection into 2.5mb each.. mehh

dave87 you know if you click the superseed button you will turn into a small round squishy object in the house

we had troubles with if two people where using BT, the WoW addicts downstairs got bad pings and moaned that their warriors/warlocks where lag missing hehe

[dave87]

Not much point in all honesty, as long as one housemate doesn't take the proverbial, (downloading Linux ISOs off BT), then it should manage itself pretty well

Edit - good ol' superseed button - jus so everyone else can get their Linux distros quicker

Do what i did in this house

I made the chinese couple downstairs connect wirelessly then forced it to B band and messed about with transmit powers... they where sucking bandwidth to bugger and back... webcam chatting, voice chatting, streaming chinese tv from pplive... mehhh all at the same time...

[dave87]

Fun fun, I've got 1 housemate that just about knows how to use a computer, 1 that is so often in London that he's not gunna use it much, and me & the remaining bloke should have the 8mb to ourselves.

Jus a shame we are 6.5miles from the exchange

[Metier9]

Well i hope the rest of the student accomadation isnt between you and the exchange

[moogle]

ugh, the pplive. most annoying app ever.

[dave87]

Unfortunately it is

Fortunately, most are on Cable

I meant the wattage my 430W was 80 - 85 squid as well

Wattage means nothing.

The HX620 is an awesome PSU and should easily cope with 2x 8800gtx's.

Just run one PCIe power cable to each card, and then use 2x molex-PCIe connectors for the second connector on each card.
