    Installed Cat 10.5 official and 2D is clocked at 400/1200 now?

    stop complaining. This is new solution that ATI is implementing. IF you run it at DEFAULT clock, it will have normal 2D speed. If you OVERCLOCK a bit, you'll get different 2D whereas your mem clock won't change at all.

    The Best Gaming Rigs for around $1,500. Your advice

    I don't think it's worth it. If you wanna pay some premium, go triple 480 or 2X5890. Personally I would just go with a 5850 and get another in the future. I'd save a lot of money that way.

    Low FPS in Company of Heroes with 5870 :(

    My spec is: E8400@4.5ghz DDR2@1060mhz 5870@stock Naturally I just went ahead with everything maxed out (8X AA too). But I started getting 25fps in some part. It goes 60fps normally but it drops all the sudden and it's noticeable. Is it because this game...

    SSD: Corsair vs Indilinx vs Intel

    the question should be Indilinx vs Intel, as corsair doesn't make their controller. I think only 3 companies make SSD controllers: samsung, indilinx, and intel
