Im planning an Intel Core i7 920 build but there was a couple pieces of equipment i'd like you experts to review.

First is :
Corsair XMS3 Dominator w/DHX technology x 12gb
(what exactly is DHX and is it really usefull)

And second :
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 1792MB
(how well does the card hold up to possibly running five instances of WoW on two monitors)

Thanks again for your continued support

Dual-path Heat Xchange (DHX) technology aka. the fins on top of the ram to disperse heat better

a 295 is essentially 2x 260's in SLI so you would have to disable the sli bridge (in the driver software) and run them as two seperate screens.

there was talk of SLI over multiple monitors, not sure on the status of this, I'm sure somebody else on the forum could help you out on this one

so would WoW see it as one card or as two in SLi?

Would I notice a difference in performance between it and lets say a 280 card?

Thanks again.
