- NV30 was 30%+ faster at becoming so hot that you needed 30% more case coolers to keep the memory warm
100% certified FUD my Russian friend. I ran my 5800U@525/1080 and never had any sort of heat issue. In fact my case temp was lower than with my 9800pro thanks to it expelling most the hot air from the case ;)

NV30 was 30%+ faster at making your brain think (for once lol) that is the worst investment out of any generation replacement card that has ever graced the earth from Nvidia
Not in my case, I paid what a just released 5600U flip chip cost at the time I bought it since the 9700pro deals were snatched up faster than a supermodel's phone # and it was definitely one of the best hardware deals I've worked to date since I happily used it for many months then traded it for a 9800pro and cash! :D The other 2 30% are dead on though.

Durn! I was going to order one and duct it to my 5 1/2" bay once the bulb burned out on my 5 1/2" EasyBake oven ;)

Just put a old Thunderbird 1.4ghz or Prescott/presshot in there and you can rival your microwave's cook times :p

Jerry: Prediction. I never see you or him again for the rest of my life.
