I see that the new board supports 3-way SLI and also Hybrid SLI. My question is, can they be used together... example...

    an honest question about the Conroe vs. FX-60 tests...?

    How were the CPU 'overclocks' chosen? I mean, the Conroe was running at a 23.07% overlock, whereas, the FX-60 was running at a 7.69% overclock? Let's put aside some of the responses like: 1. The FX's multi was raised, so no HTT overclocking was done, hence making the FX slightly less...

    Why has Intel already been declared the new Performance King?

    I have purchased both Intel and AMD products, and I'm not bias towards either company. In reference to the Conroe chips... We all know AMD is the current performance leader... and AM2 is the next thing coming out. So if anything, AMD will pull ahead a little more. I understand that Conroe...

    SOLVED :) - why does 7800 GTXs RAM seem to clock higher than GTs?

    1.6ns RAM = 1200-1250MHz effective It seems to me that most 7800GTs (with decent cooling) can reach 1200-1250MHz on the RAM... that sounds on par... however, it seems that most 7800GTXs (with the same decent cooling) can reach upto 1350-1400MHz on the RAM?! Can anyone explain this? I thought...
