Spicy: er nice to tell me that, so how about now you give me a suggestion to go with it

Hmmm i'm starting to get the feeling the G2 is the way to go...

Yea wik i was looking at the G2 and the alienware actually. So far pros and cons of both are: Alienware: plenty GFX power but a house of a laptop and only DX9!! Asus: DX10 card but not near as much power as the alien, more portable size wise! Oh and as far as i know it was HP that bought alienware b...

Oh my word!!! 8O what were you thinking! no wait.. you werent thinking were you

DoOb shame on you! gigacrap is not that bad

But honestly there not bad boards had a S3 that use to run like a F1 car but "budget" freindly options are usually just that budget. there good for a percentage oc, but after that they pretty much reach there limits and bomb out!

Yup you were. Pienkie when you playing a game, most of the time temps to look at would be your GFX not really your CPU so much as this will only really be hovering.

Do you have the Z5500?! If so set the speakers to 6.1 in your X-fi's option menu and i think also in the sound menu in windows (if thats what OS your using) and for some reason they should all work.. well they did for me at least!

Yea sorry bout that hehehe

Getting back to some point here i think i would personally want both partys involved to do well (ATI/Nvidia) as this just benifits all of us in the end with regard to pricing from both companys as honestly prices on both cards are insanly high!
