    4850 noise

    Ok so i actually ordered the 4770. But its really hard to get because its out of stock everywhere. I thought about changing the order to a 4850 instead, but upon further research there seems to be a lot of talk about this card being very noisy. But are they really that noisy, or was it just a...

    Geforce GFX + AMD setup?

    Hehe nice short answer. Ok, so with that in mind, would the wait for HD4770 be worth it (2 weeks +) or would a 9800GT give me the same bang?

    Geforce GFX + AMD setup?

    Hey all I have 2 AMD setups at home. Both which use the 780G and the onboard gfx. I want to install discrete gfx in both of them now, so i ordered the HD 4770. But it turns out that its pretty hard to come by. I ordered a week ago, and it seems i'd have to wait another 2 weeks just to get...

    Athlon II X2 250 OC'ing

    Thanks for all the help Eureka, i have the feeling this topic wont go any further right now. I have done some more homework and settled for this board: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H (rev. 2.0) You see, this particular board actually fullfills all my needs. 1) Its cheap, maybe because its...

    Athlon II X2 250 OC'ing

    Hey Eureka. Thanks alot for the clarification. I also have a question regarding choice of chipsets. Originaly i was going to buy a 780G based mobo. After further reading it seems that the 790 line of chipsets are much better suited especially when overclocking. Will a 790G give me a great...

    Athlon II X2 250 OC'ing

    Low budget AMD CPUs

    Hey all Thanks for the help. I've been reading alot up on the different CPUs. Xbit labs had a great article where they compared the different CPUs at the same clock speed (3.0). That was a great article. I've decided to go with the Athlon II X2 250. It seems like a nasty little f*cker...

    X3 Phenom - Windows update

    I read somewhere a couple of days ago, that to get the full utilization of the X3 processors you have to install a certain update/patch from microsoft, because they dont natively support processors with an odd number of cores. Anyone knows this in detail? Its windows XP pro edititon.

    Athlon X2 or X3 Phenom

    Thanks for all the input guys. Was really valuable for me. So i guess the AMD X2 6000+ is out of the game. Which leaves me with C2D E7200 (E5200) and X3 phenoms. While the X3s are lacking pretty well behind the E7200, in numbers anyway, the X3 still has one more core. These benchmarks are...

    Athlon X2 or X3 Phenom

    hmm, the E5200 doesnt seem to be on the market in denmark (anymore?). The cheapest C2D is E4600. Then theres the E7200 around the same price (about $20 more than 6000+. After that they get considerably more expensive that the low-low-low budget 6000+. In denmark the processor costs about half of...
