Nope we don't need to make our cars faster or have more HP. Those of us who do, feel the HP we have is not enough, so we mod and mod till were either happy or we sell the car cause it cant produce enough power to make us happy. Would you go and buy a HUGE turbo to put on your completely stock WRX with its stock up and down pipe and stock exhaust? Like with a car you need to mod or build your PC correctly, avoid creating bottle necks that actually hinder performance. Like to much ram or putting two video cards on a board that does not have true dual X16 PCIE slots. Not sure if you know this but loading up a mobo's ram slots can actually hinder performance and slow your PC down ( i know this because i too thought MORE RAM IS BETTAH.. and its not.). your better off just filling two slots. ( unless your dead set on using that outdated intel socket where you will have to run tri chan ram.) the money you save not buying the second card and all that useless ram could be used to purchase better higher end components that will last longer. LIke a good solid single or dual rail power supply and some quality FAST SSD's.

ill step off of my soap box for now. LOL
