Come-on, all you groovy gurus. There MUST be some way to do this OC. Someone mentioned to me that Dell may have spec'ed the MB at 1333, but it may actually be a 1600 MB like the model T7400, the difference being the Bios in the T7400 actually uses the 1600 speed and the T5400 only uses 1333...

Well, I've heard it "may" be possible to overclock my 2 Xeon E5410 processors, but has anyone over succeeded in OCing ANY Dell Precision running Xeons? Seems the Bios is locked out. Any way around this? Will some non-Dell BIOS be possible? The MB is spec'd at 1333Mhz -- not sure if I can...

Good suggestion -- I'm looking, but hard to find someone who's commented on eyefinity with the 5850 running dual monitors in 1920x1200 each, which amounts to a total required rendering resolution of 3840 x 1200 -- seems it might tax the 5850, but I just hope minimum fps stays above 30 on Rise of...

No problem even running two monitors from the same 5850 at 1920x1200?? I really don't see me buying a third monitor (hhmmm, well, not today anyway- lol!)

It WAS someone's work PC until I bought it on ebay for a nice price with 19 months left on the next business day warranty. Well, I do also use it in my private home office for work, doing a bit of stock trading and buying and selling. But I recently decided to upgrade the audio and video cards...

Hi, Just joined! Quick Question: I have a Dell precision T5400 running two Xeon E5410 quads at 2.33Ghz. Can the Radeon 5850 take advantage of my eight cores or will it be bottle-necked because they are just 2.33Ghz? Pretty hard to OC a Dell T5400, I'm told. :sarcastic: Much Thanks...
