    Radeon 5870 or 6970?

    Hey Guys/Gals I'm after a new AMD/ATI Radeon video card. I've been looking at the 2GB AMD Radeon 6970 that costs around $359 AUD ($376 USD). The 6950 is only $20 less expensive, so I've ruled that out as an option. However, the previous generation 1GB Radeon 5870 is on clearance for $259 AUD...

    P6T squeezing noise when browsing

    I also have the P6T (vanilla) and had the same problem. I'd get these high pitched buzzing noises coming from the VRM area of the motherboard when the CPU was under a sustained full load. I installed the latest BIOS update and I only ever hear a slight 'squeak' from it every now and again.

    AntiAliasing Troubles

    So I've been running GTX 260 SLI for a while now, the performance is very impressive. But the AA is causing me some problems. Prior to this setup I had a Radeon 4870, and with that card I just enabled AA and it automatically took care of the jaggies on power lines, chain link fences, that sort...

    Is a WD Raptor drive worth the cost?

    Thanks for the advice guys! I've decided to go with the Seagate 500GB 7200.11 drive. :D

    Is a WD Raptor drive worth the cost?

    I'm upgrading to 4GB ram, and am thinking about upgrading my hard disk at the same time. I've read plenty of reviews, but I still can't find a straight answer. I currently have 2x 250GB and 1x 500GB for storage. My OS is on a 160GB Seagate SATA drive with 8MB cache. Will going to a 150GB Raptor...

    FT: ASUS P5B Motherboard

    B-B-B-Bump! I'm also after DDR2 in either a 2x 512MB or 2x 1GB configuration and will consider a trade.

    FT: ASUS P5B Motherboard

    I only ever used DDR2-667 memory with the board. There was an option for DDR2-800, but I don't recall seeing DDR2-1066 support. I don't think that an HP board would support any OCing or exotic memory speeds anyway.

    FT: ASUS P5B Motherboard

    I've got an ASUS P5B motherboard here, in perfect condition in the original box, with manual and I/O shield included. (sorry for the awful picture quality, it was taken on my phone) I don't need this board anymore, as I upgraded to a Gigabyte P35 board. Looking to trade for either a...

    Turbo Cache/Hyper-Memory Stealing System Memory

    Simple question that I couldn't really find an answer to online. If I buy a cheapo video card for a system that won't be used for games at all, I'm not going to need more than the 128MB on the card itself. Can I limit how much memory TurboCache/HyperMemory takes from the system ram?

    Would you be interested in a "[H]ard" energy drink?

    Hell yes. :D I hope that you consider that not all your readers are from the US when working out the shipping side of this. ;)

    8800 GTS Advice - Go for the 320 or 640? Will my current PSU be enough?

    The result? The card is massive! I had to move a HDD to another bay because the video card was in the way. :eek: I'll take some actual pictures of the card soon and post them. :D This thing is amazing compared to my 7600 GT.

    Is it worth waiting for Wolfdale to be released

    These silly naming schemes are out of control. It's awful. Who came up with "Core 2 Duo"? Nothing beats AMD's "FASN8" though. Soon they'll be using l33t speak to "better communicate the abilities of our products to consumers". :p My advice would be to wait a short while for the new Bearlake...
