    Totally Disappointed! Nothing in the ATI Lineup for Me

    So "roughly" 4890 performance for $150? Buy a 4870 and overclock it? Seems pretty simple to me.

    AMD unveils 6 core "Thuban"

    Backwards compatible with AM3? So is there a new socket on the way already?

    which am3 mobo to get?

    I prefer the layout of the Gigabyte or Asus, just for the ability to add a PCI-E 1x card without interfering with the airflow to the GPU(s). Currently running the Asus 790Gx, pleased as peas with it.

    ASRock 939 dual sata - flickering

    Couldn't find any of those fancy options in the bios, basically all that's there is whether it's PCIe or AGP as the primary adapter. It's fine for now with the 7600gs, untill I can put together a new mb/cpu for him. Thanks for all the help.

    ASRock 939 dual sata - flickering

    I've tried different memory connections to no avail. The flickering does stop when an AGP card is used though. Something seems to have gone wrong with the PCI-E interface.

    Auzentech Prelude vs. Forte

    PCI-E, headphone amp, low profile - if you need any of those, then sure. Otherwise it's a $100 upgrade to not a whole lot different.

    ASRock 939 dual sata - flickering

    Now that you mention that, seems I remember there being trouble with one of the memory slots when I first built the system years ago...I shall definitely check theat and test with the AGP card if that doesn't work. Thanks!

    ASRock 939 dual sata - flickering

    TLDR: Problem: Flickering/black spaces in WoW and sometimes Windows So Far: Changed everything except the MB, CPU and ram. Full Story: I've recently upgraded my system, which meant my old system was ported over to my son. It's old, I know - but I'm trying to fix this without having to...

    Midrange card for WoW?

    Oh I know, I just assumed $100 was being used arbitrarly and $110 would be close enough to warrant a consideration.

    Phenom II X4 945 for new gaming system?

    For SLI sure, but 800 watts is more than plenty of headroom for a 260. 500ish is fine.

    XFX HD4890 - would you buy it for this price?

    Wow. I've never seen a good deal on a graphics card at Best Buy.

    Midrange card for WoW?

    BTW: OP - This review: http://www.trustedreviews.com/pcs/review/2007/09/11/Dell-Inspiron-530/p2 - mettions a discrete 8600 GT which I suppose is optional. So at least that should work with your PSU without a problem and it's a decent card for WoW. Replacing a PSU in a Dell is a PITA...do you...

    Midrange card for WoW?

    The Antec Sonta III with a 500w earthwatts PSU is on sale often at newegg for $110.

    Midrange card for WoW?

    Is it just WoW the card will be wanted for? Or are you looking at some other games too? nVidia chips seem to do better with WoW, but within the $100 range ATI offers an overall better deal with the 4830/4770/4850 trifecta. The CPU is a factor in WoW, especially with lots of players in the...
