Tom's monthly GPU hierarchy chart is a great place to go for GPU comparison. Helps you see roughly what desktop cards mobile cards line up with. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

I threw your parts (or their modern day performance equivalents) into PCPartPicker and came up with a total price of $550 - $600 (I threw in a case since you didn't list one). Link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rDFBdC You may be able to get in the $400 - $500 range depending on the buyer. A...

Here's a PCPartsPicker equivalent I put together: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6cD9pg Total for parts, OS, and monitor: $770 ($710 after rebates) Yes, those aren't the -exact- parts, but they are likely equal to or better at least (except possibly the motherboard) Based on that, I would venture...

Probably not worth it in your case. The fact that you have an FX-6300 may create a bottleneck and you wouldn't be able to take the full potential of the card. Based on your setup, I'd look at adding another 8GB stick of RAM so you can utilize dual-channel speeds and maybe add an SSD. That...

"Apple Overtakes Android In U.S. Market Share" "The total sales for iOS totaled 47.7 percent, while Android was at 47.6 percent" So wait... they overtook it in SALES or SHARE? Kinda a big difference... If it's just sales, then I'm not sure what the fuss is over. If a company releases not one...

"10 GB, 20 GB, and 30 GB" = TB, perhaps? Also, the transfer rates are listed at Mb/s, whereas LaCie lists them at MB/s.

So what if I, in theory, went out and bought Xbox live gold membership cards at a reduced price from a third party? (I believe I saw 2 year subscription cards for $70) if I had 12 years worth of gold subscription, would MS refund me the full $720 value even if I only paid $420 for it? If so, I...

Fantastic! I think I overlooked the Gigabyte because it didn't have the PCI-E speeds listed. However, if you look closely at the photo they are labeled. I have the BitFenix Prodigy-M case, so I should be fine with the 2nd card in the bottom slot (the case has 5x expansion slots). The issue...

Title basically says it. On most micro atx motherboards the two PCI-E x16 slots that are crossfire-ready cover up any additional slots if you crossfire dual-slot cards. I have a PCI-E wifi card that I'd like to be able use in addition to my crossfire setup; are there any motherboards out there...

Here's a previous discussion on the topic: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/332435-33-crossfire-cards Partway down there's a handy chart to show crossfire compatibility. Unfortunately, your cards are not compatible.

I'll try it with the ultimate DVD first, and if it doesn't work I'll create a USB ISO.

Sorry, I suppose I should have said "Home Premium", I just tend to always abbreviate it as HP. I also was not referring to activating W7 Ultimate, I was just wondering if I could use that disc as an install disc for W7 Home Premium. I had read somewhere that all the discs are the same and that...

Quick question for anyone: I am currently running Windows 7 HP 64-bit. I need to do a clean reinstall, but don't have a HP disc. I do however, have a W7 Ultimate disc. Can I reinstall HP using that disc? I have a HP key code.

By BitFenix Prodigy panel, are you referring to the case? If so, did you have a microATX or mini ITX system?

I tried running it in safe mode and at 640x480, still no dice :(
