Hi thanks for the replies. I ordered all those parts I listed earlier... and just in time. The storm on Monday (Tuesday?) over the Midwest wrecked my setup. Lightning struck extremely close and blew my DSL Modem and as far as I can tell my motherboard AND power supply.
Just got my new DSL Modem up and running and received my P182 also. All my parts are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Was planning to turn my old computer into a Linux server for educational purposes but live and learn (unplug stuff during a storm... especially as bad as that one was!!)
I was thinking about waiting for a 4870 but I didn't want to spend too much on it. If worse comes to worse I'll get another 4870 and crossfire it or a 4870x2 and crossfire with my current 4870 (that's possible right?).
As for Vista 64... I can download the 64 bit DVD from my school's site and I already have a Vista Business key so I'll try that out. Hopefully driver support is better than when I last tried 64 bit stuff. That was 3-4 years ago so it better beI'm going to get another 4 GB when I order my new monitor. The Rampage Formula takes DDR2 memory which is one reason it's so popular and highly rated
So if everything works out I should have everything setup by tomorrow night and I can try 5 boxing this weekend!
