I dont want a media pc. I want to run dual 24" monitors like I did before.

In my last PC I had $30 geforce that had dual HDMI out so its not expensive to do.

Any quad core system with the video card you want then?

Yep. What about my DDR question, can you help ?

1333 is fine mate (if your not planning to OC) but i dont understand why 1600 is 2x the premium cus over here you can get a 1600 kit for less than a 1333 kit m8, so it should be the same on your side of the water.

The reason 1666 is more expensive is because I was looking in the wrong column

I was going to say, something was not right about that

Its cos you added 2 to the qty and I was looking at line total thinking it was item price

Ah i added 2 because you said you wanted 6GB of memory, a 6GB kit would be what you buy for the i7 920> socket 1366 setup, the i5 uses a 1056 socket and 4GB kits, so i added 2.

Yes I noticed now thanks

I would be tempted to get a mac if they werent so damn expensive, because Id love to develop for the iphone

It seems thats where the money is these days

How reliable is hackintosh. Is it like wine for linux, ie, crpa ?

not at all. its native code on hardware its kinda built for. you have the concept of kexts which swap native drivers for proper ones, i think.

i built mine in a saturday. including swapping kexts out to get sound working. then its all about the kit youve bought.
id go as far as to say os x is easily as stable as windows 7. which is good enough for me.

and i hadnt found the compatability list when i threw mine together, i just got sick of looking for ways to make python libraries work on windows 7.

two sites you need.
