    Upgrade or not?

    The 5850 would probably be your best bet for longevity. You can easily OC them to 5870 stock speeds and the only difference is a few more shaders on the 5870, but not worth the price. (Coming from a guy who has 2x 5870s, lol). That way you have all your bases covered - DX11, raw GPU power...

    What graphics card impressed you the most?

    My first aftermarket card that I installed was a GeForce 2 MX - which going from integrated to that was a HUGE difference. Made the games I played at the time (IGN Warbirds mostly) so much better and actually playable. Next memorable card was my Radeon 9700 Pro - what an upgrade! I remember...

    OMG I failed!

    Lol. Thanks for the laugh :) If I were you I would try dropping the broken pins method, it should work. Man you must have pushed pretty hard to break the pins! I've bent a few in my day, but just in doing that while I was being impatient and not thorough--I knew something wasn't right. Good...

    Best card under $200

    Do you mind getting a used card, or does it have to be new? If you don't upgrade very often, it would be wise to future proof and get a DX11 supported card - so 5xxx ati .. although they're hard to find and expensive right now. Otherwise, you can easily get brand new 260(core 216) for $200...

    Powering quad gx2s...

    Hey all, I'm getting into folding and have slowly been acquiring parts - and I am going to be using amd boards/processors - so I am curious, what is the cheapest processor that can power 4x 9800gx2's folding 24/7, with a tiny bit of headroom (just in case, I would rather err on the safe...

    Corsair 850HX strong enough for this?

    Agreed with above, that corsair unit will be fine.

    I7 guys with crossfire / SLI what psu are you using?

    Running Enermax Revolution 1050watt - they had a $70 rebate but I think it ended, so I got mine for about $170 brand new. Powering w3520 @ 4.2ghz and 2x 5870 plus dual water cooling loops.

    core i7 920 max vcore ?

    That is a nice setup you have there, keep up the good work :)

    Should I upgrade my Old (sorta) Rig?

    I would say purely from performance standpoint, you will see some improvement by upgrading to a 5850/5870/5970 and you'll have DX11 support. I would check out some better ram too, I really am pleased with my 6gb g.skill trident 2000 kit and it did not break the bank!

    Thanks for the welcome ;)

    Intel is making waves about AMD's split-up

    Well, AMD may be refusing because it doesn't matter what any of the public thinks. Who knows, maybe stir up some fear, pick up more of their stock (after prices fall with imminent failure coming) and then release the ace they are hiding in their sleeve & what do you know they are off the hook...

    LF advice on AM2 board

    If you are okay with getting open box mobos (I've had a few, so far they're all fine - just don't usually come with accessories like driver cd, cables, etc... personally I don't need/use any of that anyways). I'd check out these two...
