    Microsoft Updates Surface PC Models with the Latest Hardware

    The microSD slot is also still missing and the x86 versions don't get a sim slot to compensate. The snapdragon version does get vents courtesy of the shared chassis for whatever reason. Still, no 3.5mm for something that's touted as a "pro" laptop replacement is a tad bit ridiculous. Off my list.

    "Deep Black from Sides: Yes" Is this finally the return of the A-TW polarizer or what?

    System overhaul - need suggestions

    Bulgaria. Here it's a bit more complicated :) I was looking at the XFX 5870 black but I don't know when I'll be able to get one and I don't have a lot of time left for the warranty (2-3 weeks) so I'm kinda in a hurry :)

    System overhaul - need suggestions

    About me being concerned about that - considering that my 4870 goes into protection mode at ~55 amps it's kinda impossible for me not to be :) Just want to make sure that the VRMs are good/plenty enough so that the card won't throttle at all. As for Asus - I've seen enough of my friends having...

    System overhaul - need suggestions

    Ouch... Since it's driving that kind of setup I guess it's stable :D All right then one last question - should I OC the CPU or it still won't bottleneck the card? Since this PSU appears to be stable I guess I can get a better cooler if I have to in its place... Or maybe try to sell the...

    System overhaul - need suggestions

    Wasn't the toxic 2gb only? :) Besides I also do some 3d graphics stuff (like this ) and from what I've seen openCL renderers are damn fast. As for the PSU, still in doubt.. Still I won't be getting all this at least 'till next monday in order to give it some thought during the weekend.

    System overhaul - need suggestions

    The cause of the restarts is the VGA, read the link in my 1st post for more info :) The ram is running at 800mhz now (forgot to mention that) and it passes over 9 hours of memtest86 (maybe more, dunno for how long I slept that night) w/o errors. From what I've read this motherboard is completely...

    System overhaul - need suggestions

    I'll be changing my 4870 soon to a 5870 due to, I suppose, VDDC degradation (read this for more info). Looking for a custom cooling solution with 2 gigs of memory. So far I've got my eyes on the sapphire 5870 toxic. Now the rest of the system: CPU - Q9400@stock(2.66), Scythe Shuriken FAN MB...
