So here is the problem. My mom brings me her computer (i built this cheaply for her a while...
I just got the PS3 Netflix disk. My tv outputs in 1080p at max... so anyway, I put the disk in and start running it. I check the tv and its at 720p. Which is fine... but once I start playing an HD movie.. it goes to 480i. I play a non-HD movie and its still 480i. Of course, the HD movies look...
Ok. This has been about a month long process almost.
Right before Thanksgiving.. I got home from work, and my computer would not turn on. I got nothing. Automatically, I assume that the powersupply has gone out. So I got another powersupply that I had and tried it. Same thing. Computer...
AMD Phenom II x4 955 $194.99 at Ewiz.com
http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=HDZ955FBBX
Great great deal considering I just bought a 940 a few weeks ago for $189 when this 955 was like $245 at that time or somewhere around there.
I am debating on which to get. I could get 2 4770s or 2 4850s for roughly the same price (+/- $10).
It would make since that the 4850 would be faster in xfire, but there have been so much hype over the 4770.
Anyone have anything that shows the difference?
If it helps... My max...

Thought it would be good to post on here even though only for today. For those who just like to buy on newegg, its a nice deal.
UPDATE:
It is now...
Ok..

The radeon 4890. They have the regular version of 850mhz.. but also the OC version at 900mhz... Is there any difference to these cards than if you OCed the 850mhz card yourself to 900mhz?
Ok. I have kind of narrowed it down between 2 choices.
Either 2 Radeon 4770s in Crossfire..
or..
1 Radeon 4890.
Right now I am running at 1280x1024... so its a non issue.. but once I get a new LCD monitor.. running at higher resolutions.. then this will come into play.
I noticed...

Ok. Last night, I was burning a DVD on my laptop. At the end of it, it got to 100% but wouldn't release the DVD or quit the burning process. So I had to manually turn the computer off and turn it back on.
Now, it will not read my CDs/DVDs. It will show the drive and pick up the drive in the...
