    Best Crossfire Mobo for HD4850?

    Having installed my HD4850 and got it running fairly cool, I'm looking at upgrading my mobo to put in a second 4850 in Crossfire. I have an Intel E4500 - I may upgrade this as well as it is probably bottlenecking the card somewhat. What chipset is best with Crossfire? What motherboards...

    Router Bottleneck

    I just upgraded my internet service to a 25Mb connection. In testing the new speeds I've concluded that my router (wired) is bottlenecking the connection. I get about twice the speed going straight to the modem. I've had the router for about 5 years, so it's probably time to get a new one...

    I'm looking for some simple, step by step info on OC'ing an Intel E6400 on an Asus P5B Deluxe, bios screenshots would be awesome. I'm a relative rookie to overclocking these newer chips, and the last machine I overclocked was a first generation Celeron. 300 Mhz to 450 Mhz with jumpers. :)...

    Learning Path
