    Lenovo X220 Tablet as a development machine?

    thanks for the replies. Vostro is a 15.6 inch wide screen, but its resolution is just 1280*800.

    Hi, thanks for the reply, @ekoostik: by "not suitable", do you mean it wont run at all, or something else? I have asked my friend to buy for me, I have to check with him if he has bought it already or not.

    comparing gtx 260 and 4870 with ps3 and xbox360

    Although ps3 and xbox 360 r complete systems, can we still compare the latest cards such as gtx 260/280 or 4870 with them? Can we say these cards are faster or slower than the latest consoles? What are the performance figures?

    Wanna know of this psu is ok

    But the p-55ga got three +12v rails like 520hx right? Whats the difference in performance ? corsair seems to be of good quality like there fan is less noisy, cables have this design that you can use only the ones you want and so less clutter.

    New GTX 260 user: PSU and Heat Concerns

    I want to buy a psu for gtx 260, I'm thinking of getting CORSAIR 520HX. Can it run 2 gtx 260s in sli? Or in future if I get a 9800gtx to run for physx processing along with a single gtx260 will the 520hx handle these 2 cards fine?

Dont go into programming theory a lot, that can bore you if you know what I mean (you can phd in programming later), but it also depends.

    I have read that article before, but i was saying that some new article which is focused on overclocking 9800gtx+ and benchmarking against other cards, since a lot of people here have been talking about the possibilities of how insanely 9800gtx+ can be overclocked (more than 900mhz ??).

    Using old CPU with some latest GPU

    ok thanks guys. So what I understand is that I should get something like 4850 or 9800gtx+, something not more than $200. Because even if I get a gtx 260 or 280, its not going to do any better than 9800 or 4850 on my current system. And I think I know my plans for upgrading the...

    Using old CPU with some latest GPU

    gtx 280 will be overkill indeed, but in few months if I get a new cpu/motherboard/ram it'll be good for that. So i 'm thinking on these lines. Important thing i forgot to ask, is my motherboard going to have any problems plugging in 260/280 ? Because I have been reading that since they are...

    So any news about gt 260 price cuts?

    Hi all, since 4870 is here and performing like GT 260, we clearly dont have any incentive buying GT 260 since there is a clear $100 difference in price. So I think its pretty clear that 260 should be coming down in price ? Any one hearing any news about this? regards, ..ab
