    Upgrade from 2 6970's

    I am thinking of upgrading my two 6970's to something a bit more up to date, as long as it's an actual upgrade. The image is being pushed to a 1080p monitor, and a 1680X1050 22 inch. I'd like to play most games at "high/ultra" as much as I can. Any suggestions?

    iOS 5 - Wifi Sync/iCloud Backups?

    Anyone else notice that when iOS is backing up to iCloud, or when it's processing a wifi sync that all your other internet activities are dramaticly slowed or even halted? I've really noticed that, and I have wireless N and a 24Mbit/s download from the internet. Seems really bandwidth intensive.

    I just picked up a Netgear WND3700, and it's sweet. I'd like to upgrade my wireless card in my Dell 1525 to an intel 4965 or Dell 1505. Anyone have experience with either of these? The 1505 if I remember from my Dell days didn't work all that hot? Cheers,
