    Keep r9 280x or sell it and wait.

    So got my Asus 280x before the holidays, and it started corrupting on me. RMA card will be here soon, but now that I've had time to think about it, I keep debating selling it and waiting for the 290s to level out in price. I play on 3x1080p screens in Eyefinity when it works. The...

    Eyefinity on 7970/280x

    So, little hard to find good reviews that cover Eyefinity. I'm currently running a 3x1080p setup on my 6950, which is definitely starting to show its age. Is anyone out there running a similar setup on a single 7970 that could comment on it? From the benches it seems like I'd gain a decent boost...

    i5-750 to i5-3570k, will I have to reinstall Windows?

    Pretty sure I know the answer to this, because I have never not reinstalled Windows, but I have so much licensed software I'd really rather not this time around. Anyone have experience moving between Intel cpu generations and just moving their OS drive over?

    Crucial M4 or Mushkin Chronos Deluxe

    Title explains it, price on each is tempting right now, more so on the Mushkin, but figured I'd take a poll before I pull the trigger. Crucial m4 CT256M4SSD2BAA 2.5" 256GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148526 Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe MKNSSDCR240GB-DX...

    14" + Blu-ray, not Sony or Toshiba, does it exist?

    So the wife's laptop is on its last legs, started looking for a replacement this weekend. I'm a big fan of the new A-series AMD chips, although I'll admit that isn't critical. She wants a 14" laptop and since mine doesn't have a drive at all, I figured we'd try for one with a Blu-ray drive so we...

    160gb SSD Intel 320 vs Agility 2

    So title sums it up, I'm debating between a 160gb Intel and OCZ Agility2 on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227689 for $230 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-055-_-Product for $285 I'm not the biggest fan of OCZ after their recent stunts but for this price...

    Really slow Windows 7 boot on new SSD

    So I got my 64gb Crucial C300 in the other day and popped it in. I thought I took care of everything (achi, etc) in my Gigabyte P55-Ud3R board and did a clean install without my storage drives plugged in. For some reason it goes really slow on the 'Starting Windows' animated screen, like 1-2...

    Crucial RealSSD C300 $99 on Newegg this morning

    Shell shocker deal for the morning until 10 am pacific, seemed as good a deal as anything I'll see for a bit so I snagged one to hold me over till I can afford a 256 of one of the next-gen ssds. http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellS...357-_-01272011

    Intel's been quiet on the ssd front.

    So I resisted back around black friday getting a sandforce drive, really good deal but I was hoping for larger capacity. At this point I'm pretty committed to waiting for the next gen drives, I was pretty disappointed though at the lack of info from Intel at CES or elsewhere lately. Does it look...

    Programming/Modeling Usage wait for 1gb 4870?

    Just wondering if anyone has some commentary on this, from a 3d game programming/modeling standpoint would it be beneficial to wait for a 1gb version of the new 4870? Gaming-wise I run on a 22" 16x10 res so I don't think it will have an impact there, but seems like it could help if I'm messing...
