7 Series the OD tells me I need a 7 series chipset??? won't work with my opteron?

Are you talking about efficiency? If you're not - why would you have to estimate... the wattage breakdown is on the side of th PSU. If you are talking about efficiency - that only says how much power needs to be taken from the wall to achieve the stated wattage. A 550 watt PSU is a 550 watt no...

UH? bigboi86 - did you do the math before you bought you PS? How on earth is it possible to have 3 12v rails giving a total of 54amps (18 each) and be a 550 watt PS? The 12v rail alone consumes 648 watts (12x54)! It is something like older PCI-ex boards - each slot will provide 16x but not...

printer how much would it cost to print your own printer?:toast:

How is that speed useful??? SATA's theoretical max bandwidth is 300MB/s - A 2.5 Gb/s is 312.5MB/s. It's great in theroy and don't get me wrong - I WANT IT; it just seems a bit overkill no?

When Otellini said that they were cutting $1B, how did you expect them to do that??? They NEED to get rid of products, projects, and divisions that don't make financial sense! They need to be streamlined to reduce waste... It is VERY easy to add unnecessary spending in a big company, and this...

The difference between the chips is the multiplier. 3200 is 10 and 3000 is 9. What that means is if you wanted to run your RAM at 1:1 and you can get it to 250MHz, then you would multiply that by the processors multiplier to get your CPU speed. EX. 250x9=2250 (3000+), 250x10=2500(3200+). The...

First of all, what the hell is a HOSER - I don't think that a Canadian word, or even English for that matter??? Secondly, people don't just run a site for no reason... it's a source of income. to shut it down as a joke it stupid. Either they had problems and didn't want to admit it so they...

"No, we haven't been hacked. Get a sense of humor." How is that funny??? I'm in Canada... maybe that's funny in a different country but that's just retarded over here!

May 2, I have had my card at Sapphire for 2 weeks now. No word from them or my supplier. Will continue to keep updated on Sapphires customer support speed. P.

I don't know if it had that burnt area before I sent it to ATI because I just noticed it. I am a little scared to clean off the area becuase this may be what is needed to return the card. I am in talks with the shop I purchased it from to do something with the card... the shop owner told me...

Here is the powder pic, is it a burn? P.

The "vacuume soldering" I saw on google was a giant machine that was the size of a fridge! The one from circuit city makes MUCH MORE SENSE!!! There has been a possible change in plans! Over the weekend, I took a look at my card closely and I noticed a white powdery residue on the back of...

Well... It's been 2 months since I've been viewing my screen at 800x600 on an LCD (the distortion is KILLING my eyes) and I've lost almost all patience with my card - so here is my proposal! I will make a guide with your help for the noob! I have no soldering skills, but I am a patient and...

@ Dolf, I got my card back from ATI and they were not able to fix it... more over, they did not want to fix it because I removed the fan! I would like to know more about your offer to reflash my EEPROM - how do we proceed! Thanks, P.
