    1900 X 1200 SLI or Crossfire

    I've made up my mind! I am going with 2 6950's in Crossfire (partly because I have never done it and want to), and then transfer my 4870 to my other gaming machine. Thanks for the comments.

    1900 X 1200 SLI or Crossfire

    Thanks for the article link. After reading the article, one thing I hadn't thought about was power consumption. I would need to put in my 850W psu if I end up doing this. I have an 8800GT in the computer that I take to gaming events and I was thinking of moving the 4870 to that and then...

    1900 X 1200 SLI or Crossfire

    I have a 24 inch monitor that I use for gaming and runs at 1900X1200. If I want to run either SLI or Crossfire, which model of Nvidia and AMD cards would you recommend to do this for this resolution. Is this resolution even high enough to warrant 2 video cards or would I be better off with...

    Q6600 vs. E8400

    Merlin, When I bought my Q6600, I read where I should be looking for the G0 stepping. Does the E8400 have a particular stepping that I should look for? I thought i saw a C0 when I looked at the recommended cpu's for a Gigabyte mother board. Thanks.

    Has anyone at Techgage tested the SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB card? I can't find any reviews on it except at Newegg. Is it fairly new? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801

    How much power do I need for various HD 4870 scenerios?

    I have the hard drive in the very bottom front bay so that area is clear except for the extra case fan that may have to come off for extra room. I was also, just out of curiosity, wondering if the Corsair 1000W PSU would fit in this case, but with that bottom fan that blows on the PSU I...
