I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx that has stopped working properly. It refuses to turn on most of the time. When it does turn on, I have to boot Windows to safe mode, then restart and it works perfectly fine until it goes into any kind of power saving mode or is restarted again. It acts the same...

I currently use an Acer Aspire One 722 (AMD C-60, 2GB, upgraded 60GB SSD, 3.2lbs) It's fast enough for all the usual stuff, but I would like to be able to game a bit on the go. I'm specifically looking for something than can play Guild Wars 2 decently at low-med detail. I'd like to stay at 4...

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize J&W had no US retailers, thought they were just uncommon. Guess I'm going with the Zotac board and keep my E8400.

Anyone know a respectable place that stocks this board? Only one I ever see is geeks.com, but it's never in stock now. If not, is there another good 780G board with a PCIe x16 slot?

Just got around to reading the reports and posts about this thing. It seems quite promising if they can deliver. I have one question though that I haven't seen asked anywhere. Would this chip be capable of being put on and add-in card by itself ?

new info in first post

Finally found some solid info on these cards. Expected release date is September 10. - 320 SPs - 128-bit memory bus (FirePro 3D V5700 review confirms this) - 600MHz Core Clock, 256MB 667MHz GDDR3 (HD4650) - 750MHz Core Clock, 512MB & 1024MB 900MHz GDDR3 (HD4670)

OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail seems like a pretty good price with good reviews. only negative may be the 2.0v requirement. there are also some combo deals with a few EVGA video cards (2 have MIRs) 8800GT (129 AR) +...

in for 2x2 also. Really been needing some more. Very sweet deal.

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have used the word 'identical'. I don't think the manufacturer of the cards matters. But it does have to be the same GPU core. I'm not using SLI so I can't say all of the exact limitations on it, but I'm sure it's in one of the articles here.

The 8800GT (G92) and 9600GT (G94) are actually the same architecture, just one missing a few SPs and such. But no, as of right now Nvidia's SLI only works with 2 identical cards.

If you haven't bought a 8800WTF yet, here's a budget one to consider. 2 cards available as of now 580/1400 clocks for $159 + free shipping 680/1600 clocks for $169 + shipping

sorry, missed that part

I can confirm the $80 shipping cost. And from what both of my local Office Depots say, NONE of the stores carry these in stock. They must be ordered, which they say take 10-12 business days, and you must pay the rediculous shipping cost

sold out :(
