    Apple 24" LED Cinema Display, better than the dell u2410?

    Its a great monitor and all but not worth the $900IMO. The difference shouldn't be that big between the two, and Id say just save the $400 and get the dell and avoid some nasty glare at times.

    will a 5670 outdo a 3850

    Or when your PSU is only 300W and having to buy a new one for $50 totally defeats the purpose of buying a cheap 8800GT/4850.

    Asus or Alienware

    I think the GTX260M uses MXM2.1 while the 5870 uses MXM3 which are totally incompatible.

    AMD Athlon II K325 vs Turion II K625

    Well technically the Athlon is partly based off the K8 and has a 64-bit FPU and only 2000Mhz HT speed, while the turion is a true K10 core with 128bit FPU and 3200Mhz HT, But the difference shouldent be too big. If the Turion was based on the same architecture as the Athlon, it would have to be...

    New Gaming Build Help

    One thing Id suggest the OP to do is upgrade his hard drive, that 150GB SATA is going to be the major bottleneck in his system and everyday desktop use is going to be affected pretty bad, no matter which was he goes. A Samsung F3 500GB is only $50 and would offer twice, maybe even triple the...

    Need a laptop

    The "tallest" laptop screen you can find is 16:10 afaik, most are moving to 16:9 (1366*768) nowadays. Also, 1.5 hours is pretty bad nowadays, any decent laptop does at least 3 hours on a full charge if not longer. Heres some choices Id suggest...

    4870x2 vs 5850?

    the 4870X2 sucks crazy amounts of power though, like 350W under full load. So I doubt the 520W can handle it.

    $650 Light gaming build

    For some reason I though the 635 was $75, sorry. The fact is the 635 and 945 are pretty much identical in terms of design besides the lack of L3 which helps more in rendering and encoding than gaming; and for future proofing, the best option is actually the X3 435+good GPU, then upgrade...

    $650 Light gaming build

    The CX400 is perfectly enough for a single 4850 for $27AR, and an Athlon X4 635 saves you ~$70 while sacrificing only about 5-10% performance. Spending the extra $70 on a 5770/GTX460/HD5830 would be alot better for gaming IMO. Just my 2 cents.
