Current specs:- i7 920 @ stock X58A-UD5 rev1.0 (F7 BIOS) BIOS was updated from F6 to F7 last year Nov 2011. EVGA 9600GT 1GB GDDR3 @ 2-way SLI TX650W (old one, bought 4yrs ago) Lancool PC-K62 M2700HD (using DVI cable) 6GB DDR3 GSkill 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 @ 1.6V (slots used are 1,3,5 - triple...

@bbsr Ideally you should have come here 3 months ago when you were in process of buying your current system. How much did you shell out for your system BTW? I'm "guessing" a figure of around 20k~22k (including the FullHD monitor & speakers)? Spending this much & not having a GPU & a decent PSU...

@OP Updating graphic drivers just for the heck of it is not really advisable all the time. Many have run into problems like crashes, BSODs etc. for the same reason. As bottle said, you should always take a look into its log before updating the drivers & not rely solely on hearsay/user reviews.

Yeah. Definitely.

The point wasn't to say ATi shouldn't make cards as they see fit, but rather to say that this was a bad move. It's a bad move because ATi doesn't have anything more to offer after 5970 & with the rumors going on about GTX 480 being better than 5870 & having being similarly priced, ATi is only...

Unless people suddenly get rich enough to own 30" LCD monitors or more, unless they start using multiple monitors with eyefinity, I really don't see the point in making such 5970s.

@Dark Star Yeah, if you put it that way it does makes sense.

What exactly did AMD achieve by overclocking HD4200 & name it as 890GX?

I think ATi are anxious about Fermi specs. A little uneasy to be more precise. This card is proof of this fact. Or is it just me? O_o" This card is not for budget-conscious/mid-end segment users anyway. A segment that ATi/AMD command best. Going by this logic, I think it's a POS. Making a card...

Because they're nothing great than a fast DDR2 800/1066MHz ones. However, if you already have a DDR3 board or have finalized in getting a DDR3 board, then there's not much to say against a cheap 1333MHz DDR3 ram. If you had mentioned going for a 1600MHz DDR3 ram (CL7 or CL8), then I wouldn't...

@OP You sure you want to go for a 1333MHz DDR3 rams?

20k budget for processor & board? i5 750 + Gigabyte P55 all the way (if you can get it locally though)

If that's true then it's strange that my score actually got listed on the first post because I can assure you that I did not submit my score to Hwbot manually. :huh:

To, Whomsoever that updates the scoreboard. My score has been displayed incorrectly in the list on the first page. It's written as 17.61 instead of 17,610. Please update my details. Thanks in advance.

If that's all your machine has to do, then look no further beyond 550BE. That actually doesn't make any sense. But then I'm not here to judge. Just to help.

Dudes, I don't know if I'm looking & comprehending that chart correctly (although I'd like to think I am), does that comparison chart really tell you to go with an E7400 (OP's requirement is E7400 as evident from his first post) ? Like I said earlier, that kind of performance difference is not...

It'd be cool if you could give me some links to this kind of comparison so that I can erase all doubts regarding this issue. Maybe, but as long as little office works are into consideration it shouldn't matter whether it's C2D or Phenom II x2, since the purpose is little, right? Plus I only...

17,610 - Phenom II x4 940BE @ 3.8GHz | EVGA 9600GT 1GB SLI | Corsair XMS2 4GB 800MHz C4 DHX | 190.38 WHQL Approved | Windows 7 x64 ORB Link - ORB - Compare

@OP Go through this - x86-64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It should give you an idea more or less for your first 2 questions. For your 3rd question, I'd ask you to consider Phenom II x2 550BE instead. And yeah, it's better/faster/cheaper than C2D E7400/7500.

Which monitor do you use BTW?
