    Z87 RAID 5 slow as sin

    i dont know if i know what i'm talking about, but check your sata cables. i heard some sata cables are not thick enough for sata 6 speeds. just a thought. You could also try diff ports but with 4 drives i doubt you have many left on the native chipset

    4870x2 XSP Sideport feature poised to counter rumored 280gx2

    I dont think the sideport will do anything for the 4870X2. As it stand now, ATI engineers have enabled it in there lab and have found no performance increase at all. A interview with AMD's Eric Demers can be found here. He talks about sideport in a few of the questions in the interview.

    What power supply could I get away with?

    Differences between the core i7's?

    Pysicly they are the same chip. They are binned differently and like the other members said, the Extreme Model has a Unlocked Multiplier. I Currently have my i920 at 4Ghz and it's stable as a rock. I probably could go higher but i'm satisfied with my speeds right now. Be aware that these chips...

    COD WaW HD4870x2 corruption?

    ATI just released another hot fix for there R770 line.. google it and install the hotfix and see if this helps any. You also might want to reinstall the game. The weirdest thing about COD4 and COD WAW is if you update your graphics card while you already have the game installed you will retain...

    Bottleneck?

    It really depends on what game he's playing. i've seen games like X3 Terran Conflict, rely almost only on the CPU when a respectible GPU is present. A 4850 and a 280GTX perform the game at the same FPS with the same CPU. Other games are coded to rely on the GPU Mostly. (which is most games)...

    got my 24" sceptre today!

    Yep that was it.. but it also had a VGA connection also. My GTX 280 came with the DVI to HDMI Adapter so it was perfect for me. Plus it has 2 inputs so you dont have to worry about switching cables all the time when you want to play your 360 on it

    Which video card?

    may i suggest that you dump the 5000 X2 all togather and get a intel man.. Best thing i ever done.. you can find you a nice dual core or a really cheap quad core Q6600. I'd get the Q6600 because they are getting ready to stop production on them and the price's are dropping to $130 Brand new...

    Core Temp or Real Temp?

    In my experence Real Temp has been the most accurate. I'm comparing real temps readings and my bios readings and they are dead on. Core temp usually shows your CPU 5C higher than it really is. Go with Real Temp. PS. You have to run Real Temp as Administrator on Vista so make sure you do...
