Today we did a test. We swapped the graphics cards around and the old graphics card worked in the luna pc. Result! we tried The other PC, but nothing. We then assesed that it was stuffed. We took it back and swapped it for a 7200. We turned it on and windows came on, but when I tried to play Supreme Commander, it went on to 4 bit colour and 600×400 resulution and it wouldn’t go back! I did all sort of things but none worked, so I reinstalled Windows and that worked. We had a think and a talk, and we thought that it had the motherboard or processor. So, we need to find out if the processor works. I had a look on Overclock.com and saw the price had gon down on the processor I bought had gone down by £5. We also called Maplin, but the processors were around £50 for a cheap one! We had another think, and my dad said that we should get the processor from Overclock, put it in the Crosshair, and if it works we know that it was the old processor casing the problem. If it dosen’t, we will get an Asus L1N64-SLIWS at a later date, because it is a dual processor motherboard so we can utalise all the other processors. It’s also good because it has a Nvidia 590 SLI chipset, so it has SLI, overclockabilaty, heatpipes, and it will fit in an ATX case. There might be a problem with the heatsink, because the socets ane quite close. Also, having one one blowing hot air on the other won’t help the cooling. So we might have to get 2 Swiftech MCX6400-v’s as the have vertical fan mounts. Please comment if you where to get them, as I can’t find them.
