I STILL wouldn't out-rule and ATI HD 3850/3870. Sure, they're not the huge performer of the 8800's but the thing it does have is cooler operation. Mine runs 16 degrees Farenheit cooler than my friends computer that is almost identical (Execept processor and RAM). It's a decent price on Newegg...

Yeah, an I've noticed that a lot of times people assume or act like they assume that any eGO member has admin and they usually listen to me if I ask them to stop. For exaple, there was a rather crude conversation the other day going on amongst the people with mics and I asked them to stop with...

LOL I have a 900 series case and for a Media server type application it moves TOO much air as odd as that sounds. I want something I can just put everything in and leave it there for quite a while at a time but at the same time, I don't wanna spend too much money. Maybe like $50-$80 considering...

Yeah catalyst drivers aren't that great but I've had about the same number of problems with drivers from ATI and nVidia lately. I guess the one case I can make for ATI in the drivers department is that the install for Vista is amazingly easy and fast. nVidia, however, feels like it has a LOT...

Hey Rotten Kid, I'm not a complete noob at computers. It's a good thing I don't have a P35 chipset. It's got an X38 chipset and runs 1066mhz perfect with a noticable differce. PagaN, yeah these speakers, I kid you not, beat my friends car system which was supposedly 300 watts more :). I've...

I'm looking for a decent computer case. The only specifics is that is has to fit an ATX board and have a 120 mm fan.. Thanks

Manufacturer: Me (w00t) Motherboard: ASUS P5E Case: Antec 900 Series Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Memory: 2 gigs Corsair Dominator 1066ghz (DDR2) Hard Drive: 2x 500 gig SeaGates and a 250 gig WD Video Card: HD 3870 Monitor: Envision 32 inch (TV) 1366 x 768 (planned replacement) Sound Card...

Ohh and BTW most people give me crap for getting the Q6700 over the Q6600 but I should mention that I got it at LESS than the Q6600 price :D and I went with the 1066 Mhz RAM because I tested the DDR3 but it had performance the same as what I got AND the DDR2 is half as much

So, January marked the build of my second official all new computer. Here it: Q6700 (Stock clock for now) 2 gigs Corsair Dominator 1066 Mhz ASUS P5E HD 3870 Antec 900 series case OCZ 900 watt Gamerxtreme PS 2 X Seagate Barracuda 500 gig SATA 3.0 gb/s 2 X Lite-On 20x DVD burner (SATA edition)...

Sounds complicated. I'd love some!

Just though I'd say that I still my x850xt too and I just got a 3870 but I can't really help with driver issues cause i did a clean install of windows.

SWEET! Being from Iowa, Corn is very VERY important to everyone...except me :D

I have a 3870 and it's been great for me but, honestly, you can't loose either way. Not good advice seeing as to how you're seeking it but I just went with if you've had nVidia and liked it stick with it and if you've had ATI and liked it stay with that. This is my 3rd ATI card and they've all...

Hope I'm not too late but the E8400's are out and they would be the way to go for dual-core. Otherwise, I'd say get a nice bundle with a Q6600. If you work at a retail store like Staples, Office Max, or others in the electronics, go to www.retailedge.intel.com and take the little quizes and...
