Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 5:05 pm Post subject: Few questions about building a new computer |
|
|
I have someone doing it for me, so I don't really NEED to know what these things do, but I'm rather curious.
What is a RIG POWER, and what does it do?
Is it better/necessary to have 2 hard drives and 2 video cards?
What is an OPTICAL DRIVE, and what does it do?
Thanks.

no you only need 1 hard drive and 1 video card the amount of preformance boost you get in SLI(2 video cards) isnt worth the money its more for show
and an optical drive is a dvd burner, cd burner etc etc

| Another thing, can I just take out the CD drives (dunno what they're called, the thing that opens up and you put a CD in it) from my old computer and use those?

I have a CD and dvd drive, both burnable.
Are there any other parts I can scavenge from this crappy computer that are unnecessary to upgrade?
