    What the heck is wrong with Gigabyte nowadays?

    On the flipside I just swapped out a Asus M4A87TD for a Gig 970-UD3. Nothing but problems for 3 months with that board. Same hardware I now run flawlessly.

    Vid card or CPU upgrade

    It won't unlock, I BS. Actually I'm averaging 40's in crysis, DX10 high settings, but during heavy action it dips to low 20's. What makes this CPU so weak? It has a fairly high clock.

    Vid card or CPU upgrade

    Looking to upgrade my 5770 or CPU. Have a 24" widescreen Dell, resolution is killing my framerates in Crysis, 1680x1050. I know my CPU sucks, would upgrading to a Phenom X4 965 help more than a GPU upgrade? Athlon 2 X3 450 3.2G Asus M487TD EVO 4G corsair xfx 5770 Corsair TX 650

    Bye-Bye WIN VISTA (too bad)

    :thumbsup: Nero adds it's own indexing and search service to Vista which is hard to disable. What's so hard about disabling NMindexing? Nero functions perfectly here.

    Try cutting back on some of your startup programs from msconfig for starters. Defrag lately? Spyware/virus scan?
