    • Do you plan on running multiple vid cards? Just wondering why you wouldn't go with a Sandybridge processor?ETM
    • I guess the 970 would be superior for video, which I assume you'd also be doing.ETM
    • nice man. which install method are you going to do?johnny_wobble
    • no real reason other than i thought i'd spring for a six-core. there will be some video, yesscarabin
    • iboot+multibeast look the cleanest to me, gonna go with thatscarabin
    • right on. that's what i used and it's ran fine. on it right now.johnny_wobble
    • have you upgraded to lion? i'm curious about how that will affect things...scarabin
