    Anandtech Reviews R600!

    Wow, what a dissapointment... Kyle Bennet of Hard was hinting for a long time that r600 is largerly a flop... While he does seem biased against this thing, I gotta agree, r600 release has a lot in common with Geforce FX fiasco... Granted, r600 may yet to redeem itself, the launch is atrocious...

    Try this test for fun

    Me personally thought of hammer and then immediately red color, not red hammer per se, but too close for comfort. So I got curious if it works on others. I didn't see it here, so I thought why not try it here :) I guess it's not what they claim to be after all :)

    Good price for this PSU for my watercooled X2 4400+

    Well, if you after a quiet PSU, Seasonic is a way to go. Otherwise, a cheaper PSU might be an option - but only if it's a good brand. :D

    Forget 7800GTX - $200 6800GT instead

    Caveat emptor: refurbs, even from Newegg, are not guaranteed to function properly.

    When vidcards say 'TV-out'

    the reason why single videocard can have 2 outputs at max res because most if not all moden videocards carry 2 ramdacs that generate the output signal.

    When vidcards say 'TV-out'

    1) yes, TV-out can have a different output, u can have 2 screens with either second dvi or tv-out enabled 2) no, both dvi outputs can go up to the max res, u can have 2 screens at 16x12 each, or whatever it is ur monitors capable of - except super highres LCDs like ACD 30"

    Official Athlon 64 X2 preorder/instock thread...

    Tiger offers pretty good prices on OEM - competition is a good thing. I have doubts tho about AMD's 1year warranty on OEM CPU, I am pretty sure it's 60 days as elsewhere. In fact, does AMD cover OEM cpus directly or thru the retailers? :confused: I bet Newegg will gouge price way over what...

    hey tankguy, can u confirm that pre-order on ur site are really for retail boxed version of the cpu rather than an OEM like at Monarch? 'Cause most ppl here believe that the first wave of X2s will be oem only, but u advertise it as boxed...

    AMD site is confusing Here it says those prices are for 1000 cpus http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_543~98647,00.html But in the AMD price list it says its a PIB price (processor in a box)...

    Don't forget those cpus are OEM so there is NO MSRP for those anyways - by definition :D

    DEAL IS DEAD: $925+tax maybe ?? Free ground shipping(or 2-day if you ask for it)

    DEAL IS DEAD: $925+tax maybe ?? Free ground shipping(or 2-day if you ask for it)

    Actually, by DVI spec, anything above 1600x1200 should be run using dual-link DVI since regular single-link DVI barely has bandwidth for 1600x1200 (according to tomshardware anyways :) ) EDIT: I don't mean to say that u can't run 1920x1200 with regular DVI (single-link), it apparently works...
