Moar SSDs.
There's never enough SSDs.

aha cheers.

sound cards, raid cards, ssd's, etc

>>58062095

sadly none of these seem worth adding to such an old system

>>58062208
Add wireless / networking card and make into pfsense firewall / wireless router

>two x16 slots
>right next to each other with no slot in between
what did they mean by this

>>58062606
Gpus havent always been dual slot

I hse to have a board like this with two x16 slots right next to eachother
One for a 9800gt, one for a raid card

>>Gpus havent always been dual slot
even when they weren't it was commonly recommended to leave an empty slot next to them for breathing room. Hell, I remember being told that when I put a Radeon 9700 in my Athlon XP machine back in 2004.

Of course it supports multiple GPUs , just not in SLI/crossfire

Is it possible to use a computer for anything other than video games?!?!

>>58062718
Not every GPU generates a lot of heat

There are thousands of PCIe cards that are not GPUs

>>58061827
A long time ago there existed single slot gpus

>>58063007
They still do

The last single slot GPU that I can remember is the ELSA GTX 750TI

>>58062606
You can put a 2-slot card on the bottom slot and use the topmost one for 1-slot cards.

You can still SLI any cards you want on that baka.
Just use a pcie riser to move them further apart

>>58063717
You're a fool for thinking a workstation must be dual socket.
