CPU / GPU Combinations

[kalniel]

There was talk of AMD GPU on AMD chipset allowing a low power crossfire mode where the system would basically turn off the graphics card and render on the chipset integrated GPU when just at the desktop. Don't know if that ever turned into a useful feature though

If you have a HD3000 series card it works..

lol, pity as it seemed like a good idea (if the overhead of copying the output from plug in card into onboard video ram didn't hurt performance too much).

I notice newer laptops can do this, hopefully it will come back.

Not used a Hitachi HDD for years, most people on here seem to go for WD Black drives or Samsung.

AH...you need to have a look at a another thread of mine. This build of mine has been designed by HEXUS to a large degree.

Looks like you ended up with a very nice spec there, do let us know how you get on once it is built.

I shall take pictures and diary the trials and tribulations.
