    Gigabyte GV-N970WF3OC-4GD vs G1?

    anyone have this card? So far I've learned it's lacking the backplate the g1 has, it has slightly slower clocks, and from what I see in the picture less heat pipes but I'm not sure. I went ahead and ordered it since it was in stock and cheaper. Once I get it installed I'll post some more info here.

    alyarb since you have so much experience with the athlon 2 435 how do you think I should start? I would like to get mine to 3.2-3.4 Ghz.

    Yeah I already tried to unlock the 4th core but it was a bust. It would blue screen right before getting into windows. Now I never updated the BIOS, is it possible it might make a difference? Should I start another thread or how should I go about over clocking the athlon? I would like to get...

    I built a new computer as a graduation present for myself back in May. My problem is that I'm trying to build my fiance a computer able to handle Star War The Old Republic without buying a whole new system. I need this system to play the game smooth since she has vertigo. She will be using a 22...

    Best case for a dusty area?

    I live in Arizona and have three dogs so I have a similar problem. I ended up with the Haf X and every fan on the case is filtered. I've been using it since March and I love it. It helps that its huge and pretty easy to build from. Its heavy but it does have wheels.
