eBay for the win for sure. Sell that lady and buy yourself a nice 512mb GTX or a sexy DC Opteron :D

Voltage can allow your chip to run stable a higher speed than would be possible at def. voltage - at the expense of thermals lol. If you end up hitting a high bus speed you may have to lower the HTT multiplier, much like you would to overclock your ram without pushing the CPU beyond it's limit...

Must...resist...your mom joke...

Why was the r520 only 16 pipes? Yield problems, or would it have limited their clock speeds? It just seems illogical to me that a brand new card would limit itself to sixteen pipes, though I am sure there was a good reason

I don't like the 19" LCDs because of that. I'd sooner spend $400 on a 17" LCD with a better response time, higher quality panel or something. But that's kind of a personal choice thing

How do you figure that? I play CSS online (admittedly it's CSS and not HL2, but same engine, right?) on my 9000 Pro at 1024x768 and I find it very playable with medium settings. It's certainly fast enough to get some fairly serious ownage on.. heh. While I can tell the difference between...
