Any benchmarks comparing the two cpu's? (AII vs PII) My upgrade is primarily for Starcraft 2 because I dip into single digits in mid game during 3v3's and I was hoping an upgrade to the Phenom II line would reduce lag in mid-late game

Will I see any improvements in gaming going from AII > PII

Hey guys, Right now I have an Athlon II and I wanted to upgrade to either than PII965BE or the 1090T. This is strictly for gaming, which CPU would compliment my system more and which is more future proof? I will do a slight overclock but nothing too extreme.

I'm using the thermal paste that came with Coolermaster HSF

Hello guys I have an AMD Athlon II X4 635 stock and 8GB RAM. With the stock heatsink my CPU would idle at around 45-47*C so that got me worried and I went on to purchase a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ and after installing it today my idle is around 25*C and I ran Prime95 for 6 hours (the...

I haven't had to RMA my set. 1.5 yrs and still going great

What do you mean if I RMA'd my set?

Hey guys, I have an Asrock m3a770de motherboard. Currently i have 2x2GB Crucial Ballistix RAM CL 7/ 1.65v/ 7-7-7-24 (Newegg link-> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148304) There is a sale on 2x2GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer RAM with the same exact specs CL 7 / 1.65v/ /...

Thank you. I think I will get the 6870

I'm just trying to save money. Would the XFX be a good choice? I have good airflow in my case. I will try to overclock as well without changing the voltage. Is the XFX a decent choice? and for what it's worth. How does this card compare to the GTX 560(non ti)?

Which HD 6870 do you suggest? I was looking at these 4 models at Amazon XFX http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-Dis...6264344&sr=8-1 Sapphire http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-DL-DV...6264344&sr=8-2 ASUS http://www.amazon.com/Eyefinity-EAH6...6264344&sr=8-5 VisionTek...

I could do the same with the 6870 though, no? Overclock it which would separate it from the 6850

I'm kind of restricted to Amazon as I have giftcards in my account. How is this 6870? http://www.amazon.com/MSI-CrossFireX...6138228&sr=8-9

So if I get a 6850, I can just overclock it which would essentially be the same as the 6870?

Hey guys, I'm upgrading my GPU and wanted to ask which of these cards have the best value? The 6850 or 6870. I really wanted to pick up the 5850 but they are sold out everywhere or are overpriced. I won't be overclocking so which do you think is the better deal? 6870 or 6850? Overall...
