I could be persuaded to pop for a cheap 9000 series card, just for the added eye candy, but I'm not going to buy a new mainboard. Unless it can be done on any board with multiple pci-e x16 slots, I'll have to treat this as an interesting fact with no practical application.

If the Wii matures into a platform that supports a broad range of play styles and game types, none of Sony's machinations will matter. But I"m not seeing it. I was hoping Sony would pull their collective head's out of their singular ass and cut the price of this overrated BlueRay player, but no...

What's the 12v amperage on your power supply? I had flaky performance on a crossfire setup with a 500W PS. The wattage looked good but the 12v rail was too low. Switched to a 600W with 38A 12v and the system was more stable, it still isn't what I would call rock solid though.

Now that I think about your board probably has two base clocks, the board I'm using only has one and everything, including memory, is multiplied off it.

Well that is a major let down. What a POS. I guess they have to try and milk Vista/DX10 like everyone else. But I won't be helping them out, maybe at half the price... Naw, I'll get a cheap ATI and wait another year.

These drivers still have problems when overclocking RV560 and RV570 chips. CCC Overdrive will produce a strobing screen at timings over stock and 3rd party apps like ATITool will crash outright. The 6 series drivers are still the only overclocking option for these chips. on edit: The only option I'm...

If you're in a mood to enjoy the grand spectacle of human tragedy, go spend some time on the Adult Swim bulletin boards. If you ever thought that the ATI vs NVidia war was a bit over the top, if you wonder how anyone could invest so much emotional energy into chip companies like AMD or Intel, go to ...

I have one of these, it made the most annoying "Squeak" (Sorry! :mrgreen:) every time you clicked either of the two main buttons. It took about two months of hard use to finally wear it out enough that the noise went away. Aside from that it was a good mouse, pricey but nice. I wouldn't bu...

I'm quite sure that Crystal Meth is Not manufactured in the United States, None at all. It is, in fact, smuggled over the (Southern) border on the backs and in the body cavities of dark skinned people. Indeed the entire Meth problem could be ended if we could only control the nation's borders. I kno...

Most of this stuff is on Sunday nights - at least I haven't seen it on the regular weekday schedule or the Saturday night Anime block. It has gotten progressively more strange over the last few months. It's like they turned over programming time to a couple of psychopaths who create shows to enterta...

I didn't read through all the text, but all the pix show a stock Ht Link speed. I'm running the same chip with 4 sticks of memory, (the board is Asus A8R-POS) the only way I could get a stable overclock was to drop the Htt multiplier and bump up the bus speed. I know my problem is in the memory, wit...

Sitting here, not nearly wasted enough, watching something called "Saul the Moleman". Now, I've watched this programming block on and off for a few years and it generally ranges from 'mildly insipid' to damn clever, but this show runs, full speed, into a scary place where the totally bizar...

Since the 7.X drivers have a bug that makes the screen strobe if the card is overclocked through the overdrive tab (seems to effect rv570 and rv560 chips), I've been using tray tools. It seems to get the best results. But none of the listed programs seem to produce a really stable overclock with the...

If you still can't get it working and you feel comfortable working in the registry you could try uninstalling everything then purging all references to the old sound chip and the x-fi; then reinstall Creative's mess over again. I don't recommend messing around in the registry if you don't know what ...

The only thing keeping me from all that delicious C2D gravy is the hundreds of dollars I have invested in good DDR. Well, that and the outrageous price spike memory has been on for the last year. Come on lucky seven!

Count me in! I'd love a free ticket OFF the ATI bandwagon, they've shown me very little lately.

I've heard about carbon nanofiber thermal grease, but 'heard about it' is about the extent of it.

MSI is crap in my opinion..my MSI motherboard couldnt do memory timings right...bought a new one(different brand of course) and all was okie dokie I wouldn't go so far as to say they're crap but allot of their 939 boards had issues with memory. If I recall, they under-voltaged the memory subsystem ...

After all these years and all the scummy crap Microsoft has pulled, I didn't think I could get any more disgusted. I didn't think I could be pushed to an even higher plane of contempt. I was resigned to the notion that MS, allowed to function as an unregulated monopoly, probably wouldn't push too ha...

Looks to me like the excessive length of the card is just the cooling system, the blower specifically. The actual card isn't any longer than the average ATX mainboard. I've got a full size case, I'd have it, in a heart beat. On the other hand what's the deal with those power attachments? Both 8 and ...
