Hi guys, I have a question. I'm wondering if an HX 520W Corsair PSU would be able to run a 4870 Graphics card without any problems. I'll also be running an E4600 overclocked from 2.4Ghz to 3.00GHz. Any advice is appreciated. Cheers

If you were on a fairly tight budget and were considering improving one of the following components which do you think will deliver the biggest bang for the buck? I suppose FPS gaming should be a consideration as that is where the performance will probably show up most. CPU Intel Core 2 Duo...

I want to spend less than 200 bucks on a new cpu to go along with my new EVGA 7800GT card. I'm leaning towards either the 3200+ Venice or the Opteron 146 Venus. Which would give me more bang for my buck? Will the Opteron 146 give me a better chance of hitting 2.6 GHz? I'll be using an ASRock...

I have recently had theft on my VISA card and it has been suggested that it is due to a trojan on my Mac OS X. Is this possible as I always thought Macs were immune. How do I test for Trojans on my Mac? I have searched on line and am wary of some of the offerings. .
