Already done Sun!

I have been shopping online for what I will get.

I have it narrowed down to two possibilities.

I think V-golf needs to keep his eyes peeled in the rear view mirror.
Remember, I only have two video cards going AND 3 core 2 duos, no quads or more.

It won't take a whole lot to get up over the 60,000 a day level. Plus, I can buy a quad and change out a core 2 duo as well.

I'm keeping an eye on it.

I informed mrs. micro a bit ago I was buying a new driver for when I can golf again later this year.

She didn't mind so I think I'll be in the clear on the video card.
She already knows I need a replacement for that GTX 550 Ti that was running so hot and then went kaput.

I think there won't be much discussion. The only question will be which of the GTX 600 series do I add.

We'll see. I am actually more intrigues with the new Driver for my golf bag at this time....... (sorry ArVee)

Have a great day!!!!!!

Thanks, ArVee!

Yep - it took Hollywood a little bit to "warm up", but she's knocking out anywhere between 58,000 - as high as 62,000 on average - depending on work units.

She's getting some assistance from Baby Blue - Baby has a core 2 duo and a GTS 250, then the laptop kicks in 2-4,000.

Then yesterday I started tinkering with Kitt to get him back up and running - couldn't stand having that 250 I took out of Hollywood sitting there doing nothing - I got started, and thought, shoot, Sun, why settle for the Pentium 4 when you have the motherboard from Hollywood with the core 2 duo just sitting there. So I installed that in Kitt as well. He's been purring away since about 3:30 yesterday afternoon.

Micro - you might want to consider another video card before the golf club ;-)
