Stuart you mean 5 kickable penalties besides the hig tackle. Yes I say 5... I say 5 cause the penalty for a scrum clearly turned by WP in the second half a little after the ONLY tri scored in the match should not have been a penalty against WP. If you don't know what I am talking about go and watch ...

Okay... That makes sense.

This is old news. Nvidia actually said that the Fermi board they showed was a fake, but they do have a working sample which they could not show to the public as it had lots of wires all over and did not look too great. Secondly.... semi-accurate is not a website you want to quote to any person in th...

*edit* added to my original post

No worries boet, it's just that apparently running with Physx is not classified as a true reflection of your CPU's performance.

totally stock

Yup totally stock with Physix enabled. Your CPU score is too high because you enabled Physix......

Good to hear from you Neo. Yes it has been a long time. Looks like you enjoying yourself. I don't know if I'll have your patience when it comes to i7, but you doing great when I looks at the clocks. Anyways, the PHII will be a walk in the park. The fact that you can just cool the pot and fill it up ...

Hey NEO..... some great results you got there. Any Phenom II clocking yet? I just got a 955 yesterday which I want to give a go under LN2. My 940 only managed 5.6Ghz on all 4 cores, but then again there might have a been a little more if I tried harder. How did you manage to get the 965 that high fo...

Resident Evil 5 - Co-op on Xbox Live
COD5 - Xbox Live ( I'm yet to play this game single player )

DA still leading Western Cape with almost 51%. I'm pretty happy, because that's the only place I'll still live in SA, it's like a totally different country...

QFT....

I would say they are matched evenly. Boils down to crossfire / sli and fanboyism. I might not be a fanboy , but bough amd cause that try real hard to give us options and they deserve support. Mow that's why I'm currently running a Phenom II. However, I can't seem to get myself to except the ATI dri...

Hey Anakha, I'm glad you getting a new case.

And well done to Prophecy for exchanging the case...

My personal experience going from DDR2 to DDR3 in an Intel system was that the system felt more snappy. This could be due to the chipset, but I used a Asus P5K Deluxe (Brilliant P35 chipset) and Gigabyte EX38 DS4 with DDR2 and then moved to an Asus P5Q Deluxe (P45) and later an Asus Rampage Extreme ...

No problem....


Good luck with the setup. No matter the way you might go, Intel or AMD, I can assure you it will be great.

Enjoy

Oh yes, and the Quad AM3 chips that will be released will be the 945 (maybe a Black Edition), 925 and there are rumours of 955 (3.2Ghz Black edition) later on.

Oops double post....

Currently what you could look at for AMD is: CPU Phenom II x 4 940 3.0GHZ (Unlock multi - AM2+ CPU support DDR2) Phenom II x 4 920 2.8GHZ (locked multi - AM2+ CPU support DDR2) Phenom II x 3 720 (unlock multi - AM3 CPU support DDR2 or DDR3 depending on the motherboard) this cpu however might not be ...

The AMD boards with the 790fx chipset runs Xfirex very well.. Currently holding the 3dmark06 and 3dmark05 world record on ORB.

There is very little difference between the two setups. Intel guys will say Intel, AMD guys will say AMD. I had a QX9650with DDR3 and a DDR3 mobo, and I also got myself an AMD Phenom II X4 940 with an Asus M3A79-T Deluxe, and at present it's my gaming rig and plays all the games I play brilliantly. ...

I've seen this, but I've also seen that the unlocked core a lot of times are not able to clock very high....

Still interesting. Thanks for the info.

And strangely enough, my 3DMark Vantage score is sitting at 21625 (or is that also too low) with GPU score at 18738 and CPU score at 40208 To me that seems quite decent (or am I mistaken there too)?? You guys need to understand one thing here. Guntherhann, you CPU score is very high and I think it ...

GuntherHanne I think you results are pretty decent. At present, similar setup (940 with Asus M3A79-T Deluxe) but with only 1 overclocked GTX280 and the CPU at 3.82Ghz I get around 19.3K which I belief is pretty decent. I think with your it might just be a driver issue with SLI, and obiously the cpu ...

Understandable... Which is exactly why I went the AMD route for my new motherboard and processor.

I might even go AMD graphics to make it a complete AMD setup, but will have to wait and see....

Okay... First of all you could look at Quad (4) core or Tri (3) core. At present AMD released the Phenom II AM2+ processors the top processors being the 920 (2.8Ghz) locked multiplier and the 940 (3Ghz) unlocked multiplier. Both processors brilliant for gaming. But soon the AM3 versions for these pr...

Please let me know how real world gaming on the p2 is.Like how much of a diff there is in frames.Im really considering getting a AMD system when i upgrade. Smooth....very smooth... Seriously, the Phenom II is a winner. I love the processor, and when I compare it to my C2Q rig there isn't any differ...

Mow, this is my personal opinion, not some facts on paper... About three months back I decided to get a new Graphics card, and my decision was based on what I prefer, and driver stability. My options or budget at that stage were GTX280, or 4870X2. Yes the obvious choice would be the 4870X2, but I di...
