It doesn't have to be amd, but the main card in the system is, and I have had some issues in the past with drivers with mixing card. I had hoped to avoid that.

I guess I can wait a few days to find out what that is. Since everywhere I have seen, it is still just "polaris 11" with no details.

I have a Radeon 6450, as an extra card for an extra monitor in my system. The primary card is a 7870. I was suprised to find out recently that the 6450 card has been end of life'd for driver updates. That means I can't get the newest drivers for the 7870. I would like to find a nice...

If I wanted to upgrade to 16GB of ram, would it be better to get a second 8GB kit, or switch to a 2x8GB kit?

I also looked at the 4590, but it for $10 more, 5% more money it seems like only a 2% increase in processing. Is this right?

The $1000 was just what I was willing to spend if someone made a convincing argument(like running faster android virtual machines for debugging faster). The parts I listed as already having I had from other projects as leftovers. Buying a lower power PS sounds like a good idea. I already...

100% This. There is no comparison. A modern SSD is going to destroy a VelociRaptor, in many cases by a factor of ten. Moving parts will never beat NO moving parts.

I haven't built a new machine in a while. I need an extra linux box for doing development work. 1. Running Linux, doing PHP/MYSQL web app development, and android ap development 2. $1000.00 (this is probably overkill) 3. USA 4. 5. I prefer Intel. I don't care about video cards except I...

Figured I would update. I bought 4 of them. 2 of them worked great, the other 2 had bad DVI connectors. I sent them back and amazon is sending me 2 more. They seem to meet all the requirements for our office, we run 2 x 24" 1920x1200 monitors per workstation, I'm pretty happy with them so...

I need to pic up a couple of silent dual DVI graphics cards for a couple workstations in my office. I'd also like them to be motherboard powered only, and not need the extra 6 pin. I've looked around, and haven't been able to find one. I'm open to suggestions. I don't need a lot of power...

I can't find it anywhere, and newegg says it has been discontinued. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811352020 What's a good replacement for this, for a gaming/home desktop I am building?

I tried it with one stick. No luck. It hangs at the "Setup is starting Windows"

I am putting a brand new system together, i would like to install a fresh copy of win XP on it. I have a: DFI nf4 Ultra-D Opty 165 10k Raptor HD evga 7900GT 2x 1024 corsair ram ( CMX1024-3200C2PT) I am able to start the installation process off the CD rom. I am able to add...

teh SEX!!!!11111 Seriously, I have never seen an LCD look this good. I stayed away from LCDs for the longest time. I came over from a $1000 dollar IIYAMA 22" bad boy CRT, and this thing looks just as good. Was a serious risk on my part buying it. I had never seen it. All the HIGH...
