Making my i7 860 @ 4.1 w/8GB DDR3 @1866 7-7-7 look like a good alternative. Already paid for t'boot!

Hats off to AMD!! Quite impressive! Although this is a dual-gpu solution, the fierce competition is good! I would easily consider buying one of these (even after buying nvidia cards since their 4 series... I might even have a 3..), but will wait to see what comes out soon before I do ;)

randomizerMac pwnz0rz PC, just accept it. *watches post rating head south* =P Are you just saying that to be funny?

"My suggestion to Apple: Create several options that allow expansion, with a more balanced system spec instead of being heavy in the CPU department and lacking everywhere else. Offer a few more graphics card options and work with third party manufacturers to offer more compatible add-in cards...

"Isn't that what most people generally do? I posted a comment earlier that just said "Mac > PC" and it got lots of negative votes from the "PC" cult, even on page 17 (can't imagine page 1 :lol:)." Yes it is, I merely stated that I don't like it, nor have I given any negative votes to anyone...

First off, if you want to compare two different things, be it easily benchmarked or not, compare them in the most precise manner possible. Take two (hardware equal) laptops, one Mac, one Windows/Linux/etc, find a program that runs on both (antivirus/Photoshop/Firefox) and at the very least time...

I'm a resident of Austin, TX. I couldn't see myself living anywhere else. Texas does have some big names in gaming, like ID Software. One thing the governor forgot to add, was the girls are hot too ;) Climate wise Texas is awesome for those that sit behind a computer (be it a career, hobby...

Here's my theory, assuming the cards exhaust outside the back of the case: With minimal intake fans you are building a lower pressure inside your case causing the cards to have to work harder to push air outside the case, which may just be coming right back in the case from the outside as well...

I've used XFX for my last two video cards. My current 7800GTX, and my old 6800 Ultra, both with a factory overclock. I've never had a problem with either. I owned both for a year or more. I had a EVGA 5700 Ultra before and the PCB got burnt somehow, and the fan died so I rigged up a fan from...

After running multiple installations of WinXP (to include RAID 0, RAID1, and individual drives) on my 2x80gb WD HDDs. I prefer RAID 0. IMHO the performance is worth the risk, which is actually low since I tend to backup my data on another hard disk and CD/DVDs. And since I'm a gamer I don't...

That doesn't make much sense, what about dust buildup? And I know on a daily basis my room heats up about 5C from early morning (as im posting) to early evening (about 4pm). Does that mean I should replace my AS5 on a daily basis? Heh, no. This is mainly due to a crappy AC unit. The...

Uhh... Well at this EXACT moment I have an A64 4000+ @ 2.6GHz, 2GB DDR500 memory (2x1GB) and an ATI RAGE II+ DVD w/tv tuner. I'm testing it out to see if I can actually do normal PC stuff on it, was hopeful about the tv tuner, but its a no-go with XP. This is because I'm gonna sell my XFX...

I second that, I have the X-fi XtremeMusic and I watch movies with CMSS-3D on all the time in headphones, sounds great, but not for music. It actually sounds good with music on my stereo speakers after I did the THX calibration. But for Divx files, its not all that, unless they are encoded in...
