No no I wana stay away from programming haha,but basically networking interests me. My friend works for a company that is hired by other companies to do their IT. So I want to handle the servers of these different companies, and trouble shoot various companies problems. And then after server adminis...

Thanx I just posted a whole bunch of questions for the guys. So I look forward to their feedback I'm so keen,motivated,AMPED to get into IT. I had trouble doing programming in school but anything else is straightforward,but I'm obviously more mature now than what I was in school so I'm sure I could ...

So I'll watch the mcse nuggets to get basics then watch mcitp server 2008 nuggets. To get a certificate as a 2008 server administrator I have to write 3 exams. Can't remember all og them right now, But I think theyre active directory,2008 server network configuring and then the main server administr...

Howzit guys, I'm gona be getting a whole load of cbt nuggets from a friend on mcse,but on microsoft website it says they retiring these exams soon,and they reccomend mcitp. so I plan on learning the mcse stuff and then getting ebooks and nuggets for mcitp and then writing those exams,and getting my ...

Yup that's the plan. Does anyone know a lot about mcse and mcitp? Any advice? I'm gona start a new thread for this anyway...

Iv downloaded a few ebooks to help me and then I'll start watching the nuggets. Apparently mcse is slowly being retired so microsoft says do mcitp instead.. I'll have to organise a few more nuggets and ebooks!
Gona start studying next week hopefully

I'm gona watch a few cbt nuggets on mcse and mcitp. Do u think thatll work??

Well it looks like I have to postpone my card coz I gotta pay for my car to get panebeaten.
It really sux but oh well. I need a raise!

Ya I duno. Everyone seems to recommend the 5850

Other reviews say the performance isn't so consistent?

I found out that even though my mobo will be triple channel I can stick 1 ram board in and it uses it.
If u stick 6 in,it'll start from the first one,use the memory up and move on to the next.

Ya I thought of that. But that's what the ad says,so we will wait and see

O ya I know. I'm gona have to save up for ocz 1600 ram. But I'm gonna have to survive with 2gb for a month or so

O yes sorry,I'm getting an i7 930,some standard cheap 2gb 1333 ddr3 ram on a msi X58 mobo.

I'll run my 5850 in my current system for a few months then get the i7.I'm keeping my budget in mind thanx haha.
I'm getting a 585W. Gigabyte odin psu and my 23 inch LED. Can't wait! Gona use my 13th cheque for the i7 and then I'm sorted!

At the moment I have a bad setup,some cheap case,pentium D 2.8ghz dual core. But I'm getting an i7 and a coolermaster case pretty soon.
I'm upgrading everything!

I can get a gtx 470 for 3200,so I'm deciding between that and the 5850. But in all the reviews the heat was reaching 100c in some cases! But sorry I know iv asked countless questions but I think iv settled on the card for me. The gigabyte HD5850, with twin fan and has a slight oc. Thanks everyone fo...

Thanx haha,I'm busy recruiting another vampire!

I'm looking at the GTX470 but it runs at a super high heat so I guess overclocking is outta the question.
Has anyone had experience with the card? Is it way better than the HD5850 or is the heat a big issue that can't be ignored

Ive created quite a battle of the allegiances here!

Thanks a lot! I see the 460gtx is quite a potent card! According to those results!

Vampires rule all guys! They have been feared throughout the ages! And for good reason

Ya I'm gona be getting a new case with the money I would have spent on the cooler.
But if I have heat issues I'm gona get that zalman cooler. Budgeting around R500 for a case

Which is the best Aftermarket cooler for the 5850 in your opinions?
I'm looking at getting the sapphire version and sticking a zalman vf3000a on top of it.
Its such a sexy cooler but guru3d rates it badly. So I don't know?
I want to overclock it wen I get it so I want decent cooling

None specifically so far...
