shut up =(

Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5

was about 40£ more

Im also gonna probably mostly surf and play games on my 20" wide

"Samsung 46" LCD-TV LE46B535"

thats the tv im thinking of buying. Im mostly gonna watch movies on it, hence why I dont want to go with the 42" which would make it easier to play games on.

I have more faith in nvidia then Radeon though

or maby try and sell the 20" monitor I have right now and buy a BenQ 24" LCD G2412HD , good reviews cheap but weird brand lol

ati cards blow nvidia out of the water for power and price. there is also a new range of graphics cardsout soon that are a big jump from current tech.

ati cards also support 7.1 surround sound directly through the hdmi - while you have to edit setting on the nvidia cards everytime you want to use sound through hdmi

So for gaming and using hdmi thru tv etc is

XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5

an alot better choise then the MSI GeForce GTX 275 896MB PhysX CUDA ? =)

Get two cheap 1gb ddr5 cards and sli or crossfire them

Fatpanda · « **Reply #54 on:** October 31, 2009, 11:16:19 AM »

most powerful card available at the moment is the ATI Radeon HD 5870

however the 5850 is also an amazing card, and a little cheaper

you should be happy with your purchase. it blows the gtx 275 out of the water.

Yes, and xfx or saphire etc doesnt matter, they all get the same boards and just put their own cooler on, so its down to which has better cooler and warranty really.Buy a 5850, flash it to 5870 speeds = profit.

I tested Win7 and truthfully, I saw it as nothing but a working version of Vista.

Ctrl-alt-del does NOT bring up the task manager and that's a huge sticking point for me.

Just as Vista added a mouse-click here and a mouse-click there for formerly simple tasks in XP, Win7 does the same for basic desktop and file navigation.

XP was perfect and while Win7 is smooth, it just doesn't have the right 'feel' for me. I'm going to stick with XP indefinitely.

that's true!! too bad it can't handle new hardware, it only reconizes 2gb RAM, suck if you want to play call of duty 4 with your 4gb RAM and only get performance from 2gb. An upgrade was nesccesary and vista was the only choice......

King Alex, is that torrent legit? Today is my "Friday" and I plan on installing it if it's okay.. too lazy to check all the warez sites. They've gone really downhill since the late 90's and early 2000.

I'm ALMOST ready to pay for it but I dunno. Tried some of the betas and it was good. I think it's the first Microsoft OS I'm actually willing to pay for. If the torrent's not legit, I'll just buy it tonight online. Cheers!

even if it is legit, it won't be long before microsoft block it with their official download detector. like they did with xp and vista.

Yeah, their genuine advantage stuff... I'm sure that'll get on there, but like last time they offered a VERY generous grace period by which people would register.

Dammit, I think I'll just pay for it lol.. it's only $120 CAD for the upgrade to 7 Home Premium. I'm off work at 11pm so I'll install it later. Yeehoooo!!! Hope it works well with streaming media to my PS3 or I'll be pissed

there are cracks for that also, but it would be easier to just buy it if you're not very computer smart

That's the one thing I never bothered to crack, OS's. MS can be pretty crafty at sneaking in verification software.

When I get home and want to go on the computer, I want to go on the computer and use it. I don't want to have to spend hours sifting through infected torrents and usenets to find cracks. If I want cracks for software that's one thing, but I want my OS to work 100%.

That being said, I can't wait to get home and do this shiiiet. The beta was awesome. Gonna shit, hit the gym, go to work and hopefully get off work early mwahaha

And I cant wait to get my new computer, its gonna be a nice upgrade from a

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
MSI GeForce 7600GT 256MB
512mb ram
