Thank you guys, that really helps me out a lot. Appreciate it. edit for blanketyblank: That's like asking a street racer why he wants a nitrous oxide system when a stock racing engine is pretty fast. To get better performance and have more fun of course ;) edit for mmnno: the price...

Could we get back on topic please? Sorry I just don't want this thread to get derailed since I'm looking to buy this system relatively soon. Thanks. Thanks for the replies so far, can anyone provide a case for the 16x and 4x slot allowing for near or same level of performance as a standard...

Hi anandtech. I want to build a system with an EVGA P55 LE motherboard and a Radeon HD 5850, with the intention of adding a second 5850 sometime in the future. The processor would be the i7-860, memory being the 4GB Mushkin DDR3 1600 kit. I know the EVGA P55 LE mobo supports Crossfire...

DSF the reason I'm shooting for such a high frame rate is due to the way CoD 4's engine works. If you get 60 FPS average, you don't jump as far as someone who gets 250 FPS. This is why having a frame rate of 125 or ideally 250 average is so essential to playing CoD 4 at any type of competitive...

I'm not an expert but I believe that CoD 4 frame rate is not the same as the actual monitor refresh rate (hz). If this were the case then nobody with an LCD would get above 75 frame rate, which is certainly untrue. I know a lot of people who report in-game frame rate as 250 FPS constant...

Hello everyone, I need a little bit of help, and since I know you guys and gals are awesome, I kindly request your advice. I want to upgrade my PC, specs below, and I was wondering if my motherboard would allow me to upgrade to a nice processor like an AMD ATHLON 64 X2 - 5000+ BLACK...
