Great, does this work for DDR2 too?

Look, you might be able to run Wormsi, but I wouldn't count on Dragon Age... what motherboard are we actually talking about here?

Just disable VPU recovery in the ATI control panel. It causes more headaches than it actually solves.

PCI slot

If you're looking for PCI, good luck finding anything new. PCIe is the standard now.

Really solid.. that blue one is just plain irritating

It depends... where the computers are located, what you actually need from the router, etc..

Looks powerful enough.. As for those ColorShift power supplies.. you might as well buy two 500W units for $50. That’s how much quality we're talking about here.

For that kind of cash, you get a 640GB WD drive plus a decent case.

Just clear the CMOS

The aesthetics aren't quite the same... but Sapphire is still a solid choice. Honestly, any brand will do fine as long as it's an HD4670.

That’s the thing... you have to order from the discount store a day in advance because I think they ship everything directly from the importer

Just wipe the old drivers and install the new ones.

....

Are you positive it's PCI? Seems a bit odd to have PCIe paired with socket 754

If it actually is PCIe, then a GTX 460 would be a solid pick, or at least a GTX 460

850W is a joke, and honestly, can you even trust those Power Specifications anyway?

might be useful

It's impossible to predict

BIOSTAR makes both great and terrible boards; you can't really say anything definitive without knowing the specific model or chipset at hand.

First, get yourself a decent power supply

Grab the MSI HD 4670 512 ddr 3, and honestly, try to upgrade that processor sooner rather than later.

Could you be any clearer? I’m sitting here like an idiot reading a 25-page review about a 5770 CF setup
It’s just one card we're talking about: the AMD Radeon HD 5770

Is that CF setup even worth the money?
$1000Paying for two cards that barely catch up to a Radeon HD 5870 in this scenario isn't exactly a smart investment.
