    500 watt psu with 260gtx/4870

    Heys guys, I am wondering if I could run a 260 gtx or 4870 on my current psu.

    Newbie CF and chipset questions....

    Ideally I would like to play at 1680x1050 resolution. At this resolution, does having a x38/x48 mobo matter? If I chose to go CF, would using a p45 have a big effect?

    New X48T-DQ6 Bios out.

    I can confirm that the F5 BIOS for the X48T that was released a few days ago will brick your machine. Do not under any circumstances attempt to flash your BIOS to this version. I tried to flash from F4 to F5 this morning using their @BIOS utility downloaded that same morning. I had an endless...
