With our fancy scopes we use in industry we can find transients easily. The USB scope they are using for testing doesn't look that robust as far transient capture, axis labeling, and all that fun stuff go. That IMO is the limiting factor in this review, all of it basically comes from the scope...

Who cares if its not what YOU expected pure brute force speed wise. It brings TR AA and the ability to run 1600x1200 easily with maxed settings in almost every game. If you are worried about your budget then how many of the items that you have are considered "must have hardware?"

it looks to me that the ramsinks are bolted onto the rear of the shroud and not one piece that goes through to make contact with the ram. If thats the case I hardly consider that better cooling I consider that inefficient and stupid.

Looks like a fancy shroud on the stock cooler

I can understand alot of people are pissed because they have to buy new rigs to get the best stuff. Also I would be pissed if i bought into S754 to find out later it had no plans for PCI-E support. But the way I look at it is S754 was never made for the highend market it was there for entry...

I fail to see how a 240v fan is dangerous since thats the Mains line in europe. I see it actually being very practical because you can keep cooling the computer even after its shut down, i never understood why the fans dont spin for another minute or so since power is still going through the...

Socket A was a good kid. Going to really miss it since it was my first comp and it was so cheap at the time. I love my 1700+ that would hit 2.5ghz on water man that thing is still awesome, although its only running at 2.3ghz now. What a beautiful socket it was.

Also dell business charges tax to me so its the same price as dell home. Although they have it in stock so i might have to try this out.

How is it dell business has them in stock but dell home doesnt

Anyone find it odd that we are using a Notebook coupon to get these?

I read on Ocforums a person had theirs shipped, and they ordered on friday, anyone else getting shipped cards since I am dying to get my card.

For best all around performance get the x2. For best raw gaming power get the fx57, although the difference is minimal at higher resolutions. For the best way to heat your room get the intels.

Ugh I really dont want my computer to be diffused :(. How much do you think shipping would cost?

its horrendous because it isnt the 9.whatever newegg has... In reality though thats an awesome resellerrating

I would love to get a laptop but I really dont have the funds to get a I9300 or anything that good so I can play games. I can definitely get the system under 50lbs since right now my lian li weighs maybe 25lbs fully loaded, and thats going on the very heavy side. I built this computer without...
