    Overclocking with Crossfire?

    Riva Tuner 2.20 is your friend ;) It worked for me anyway.

    Anyone have a 4830 yet?

    I got my 4830 at a low price in HK but if like in the UK there isn't much difference in price between the 2 I'd go for 4850.

    Anyone have a 4830 yet?

    lol I can see you found my review :o PT boat results are awfully close between the two res, can't remember whether mixed up the results. I was going to retest but I now have a E7200 instead of Q6600 so will have to redo all tests when I have the time. Besides I have the hotfix driver now would...

    HD4850 CF vs PNY 9800 GX2

    Yeah, and not to mention the GX2 requires an eight-pin PCI-E so if you don't already have the cable or adapter it can be a ***** to find one - I had to make one myself when I had my GX2. Single card only in the sense that it requires 1 PCI-E slot. It still uses internal SLI so the usual SLI...

    Memory Question (3 or 4GB)

    I think it's better to get 2x1Gb first and get another 2x1Gb after you upgraded to Vista 64bit later this year.

    The coloured lead is positive while the white lead is negative, as said it only matters with leds.

    sempron or celeron ?

    hummm, the K7S41GX will ONLY supports socket A proccy. In that case then I'd definetely go for the 775Dual-Vsta with Celeron D, cuz u can always go for Conroe, DDR2 & PCI-E anytime. the mobo can run @ default 1066Mhz FSB (266Mhz Actual), A Celeron 351 is default @ 3.2Ghz (133*24), which means...

    sempron or celeron ?

    Hang on a minute!! That mobo supports both skt A & skt754 so I assume you are getting a skt754 Sempy right? right?? :wtf: I'm saying this cuz there's the Socket A Sempy 2400+ 1.66Ghz, is there even a skt754 sempy 2400+?? If it's a Socket A one then I'll prefer LGA775 Celeron D anytime...

    PSU... overkill, but not enuff volts?

    My bad, didn't mean to insult your PSU nor your intelligence. Like I said, dip in voltage is normal and should not cause any instability as long as it stays within -+ 6%.

    PSU... overkill, but not enuff volts?

    24 amps seems really weak for a 650W, not suprised if it's going for 50 bucks. You really do get what you paid for especially when it comes to PSUs. It is highly unlikely that you will be able to run CF without a new PSU. Best thing to do now is to look on the CF webpage on the ATi site and...

    Need for Speed Carbon Demo released

    That was one and a half year ago!! It's a long time in the world of computers. It's more than likely that you don't have a powerful enough graphic card, also not enough RAM too.
