Long time Mac user but moving to PC since all new development is on that platform (Thanks Mike)
New territory for me so I thought post my intentions and get some feedback.
I am looking at ADK to put it together for me. Gigabyte-AMD 790XT MBO w/ 3 PCI slots
AMD Phenom 1090T 3.2 ghz 6 core.
700 Watt PSU
4 gig mem
Win 7 32 bit pro OS with Mikes XP Drivers.
My big concern is the pci slots (3) I have a 3 card system and read a little about IRQ conflicts. My brain cells have not been exposed to these bugs living in Mac land for so long so I thought Id get feedback from the PC experts on the forum.
I do have a 7 slot magma chassis / PCI Host card but wondered if there are any issues I need to know about. Special instructions for tweeking etc.
If I go with the Magma chassis for the cards ... it does open up more MBO/ Processor possibilities but like the idea of all in one box to save on space.
Thanks
Kurt
UPDATE: ADK Does not recommend the AMD AM3 series so the above build is Null and Void
They recommend intel i7. This would require running Paris cards in magma chassis due to only 1 available legacy pci slot.
