GPU Buying Guide - (Read first post) in Desktops ·
Benjamin King2 said:They’re using the exact same GPU core on both, it’s just that the 6670 comes with a newer version of HDMI... the price gap isn't huge because that card you linked uses slower RAM; a DDR5 card is always going to cost more $67 than that 5670.

Look, I get that the DDR3 is slower, and that 6670 with DDR5 is sitting at around $700 or whatever...
But what am I actually supposed to do here? Which one is the better pick—should I grab that 6670 with 1GB DDR or stick with the 5670 with 512MB DDR5? I honestly don't know... 🤷 fl@tron claims the 5670 is the way to go, but Best Buy says the 6670 is better... so apparently the 5670 has the faster memory, but the 6670 is supposedly better for gaming and all that...
And they swapped out my processor too... still an Intel Athlon, but instead of the 3.1GHz version, they gave me the 3.2GHz which costs more $5.25... and they're doing the same thing with the graphics card too 😁... just ridiculous...

So, I’m stuck on which GPU to grab... I swung by Best Buy earlier today and they were pushing the XFX AMD Radeon HD 6670 on me. But then this guy at Micro Center tells me the SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON HD 5670 is actually the way to go because it packs GDDR5 while the 6670 is stuck with GDDR3... I tried calling them out on it, telling them the 6670 is supposedly better for gaming or whatever nonsense they were spewing about "newer series" and having some bigger cache or something... they just kept babbling on about technical specs and making things complicated. Now I'm just sitting here spinning my wheels. If the Sapphire really is the superior card, I might as well get it. The price difference is only about five or six bucks... it's not a huge deal, but I really don't want to get ripped off because of $13...

Wait, can't you just set that up directly in Microsoft Outlook?? Does it actually give you an alert when a new email hits the inbox?
You mean this?
Just type out the word you want to turn into a link—let's say... Raytheon... Highlight it with your mouse and then hit that blue "insert link" icon up top... Paste the URL you're aiming for, like "http://www.raytheon.com/", hit OK, and you're golden. That's all there is to it... hope that makes sense to you 🙂

So, I've been sitting here staring at these two options, trying to make sense of it all... which one is actually worth my time? Which card is better? It’s one of those questions that seems simple on the surface, but once you start digging into the specs, everything gets messy... So, I was looking back at some old hardware specs today, specifically that Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5670... honestly, it takes me back. It’s one of those cards that really defined an era for a lot of us, wasn't it? Not exactly a powerhouse by today's standards, obviously, but back then... well, you know how it goes. You'd be sitting there, trying to squeeze every last bit of performance out of your rig just to get a decent frame rate, hoping nothing would crash mid-session... It's funny how much we used to obsess over these specific models. Just a thought while I was digging through my old tech notes... ...well, if you ask me, I don't see it going any other way. It’s just one of those things where you look at the options and realize there really isn't much of a choice left... unless you want to deal with the headache that comes with anything else. Honestly, sometimes it feels like we're just circling the drain waiting for a decision to be made for us... anyway, that's just my two cents. XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670... The folks over at Links are claiming that the XFX is the better way to go just because it’s cheaper, insisting the performance is basically identical... or so they say...
Why on earth is Word 2010 skipping lines when I hit "enter"? It feels like it’s jumping an entire line every single time... how do I actually fix this setting? Everything looks totally messed up on my end here...

Oh, and I totally blanked on mentioning that the movie is actually the TRUTH...
And hey, you can even grab it LEGALLY via torrent 😁
The Tunnel in Movies ·
PLOT: Back in 2007, the government in South Wales made this sudden, weird decision
to start pulling water from an abandoned subway tunnel
located right under Sydney Station St. James.
After a year of digging around, investigative reporter Natasha Warner
decided she had to look into the rumors about a massive cover-up and all those urban legends
people were whispering about why everyone was suddenly staying far away from the tunnel.
She grabbed a four-person crew and headed straight into that underground labyrinth;
they went down there looking for a scoop... but instead, they found something else entirely..

IMDB:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735485/

TRAILER:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_2fKmjekk

Just finished watching this... actually pretty good.

crimsongull47 said:It's from the same company as http://www.raimersoft.com/tapinradio.aspx

There’s a portable version, too. Honestly, I haven't seen any of those specific radio stations the OP is asking about...

Those aren't actually radio stations... they're specific shows... like Tiësto's Club Life or Armin's A State of Trance. If you don't listen to trance, you probably wouldn't know the difference...
Anyway, I found what I was looking for... 😁

Man, I'm basically stuck in an ASOT loop right now... just pure trance, 24/7, non-stop...
Here's the link if you need it:http://www.shoutcast.com/shoutcast_p...OM%20ARMIN%20V...
Hopefully this helps you out somehow...

crimsongull47 said:I can't believe I'm even looking at this site right now... honestly, my blood pressure is through the roof just scrolling through the layout. It’s like someone decided that user experience was an optional extra they could just skip entirely while building a web presence. You go to click one thing, and suddenly you're three tabs deep into a digital labyrinth that makes navigating a DMV office look like a walk in Central Park. And don't even get me started on the loading speeds. I swear, I could brew a pot of coffee, pour a cup, and take a sip before this page decides to actually show me what it's advertising. It’s frustrating, really. You expect a certain level of professionalism in this day and age, especially when you're trying to find actual information, but instead, you just get a headache and a wasted afternoon... it's just exhausting.

Thanks, guys... I ended up installing both just to see what would happen... and honestly? I’ve already made my verdict: "Radiosure" takes the win...
ASOT is finally happening... 👍 I finally tracked down those Vonyc sessions from PVD, plus a whole bunch of those other radio shows I was hunting for... thanks a million...
I mean, I’ve already got a way to download that stuff myself, but hey, if we can just pull it over the airwaves via radio, why the hell not... 😁

So, I’m on the hunt for a decent radio player, something along the lines of Screamer Radio, but I need way more station options than what they’ve got going on...
I’m talking specifically about finding some solid trance stations—you know, the kind that actually play stuff like A.S.O.T. or those Club Life sets...
If anyone out there knows a good one, just drop the name for me... 😁
You can find pretty much any version of Microsoft Office you're looking for on torrent sites if you know where to look...

goldenhound32 said:Wait, who actually watched this? Seriously...

Watched it last night... honestly, it wasn't half bad. I mean, look, it definitely could have been better—there were moments where it felt like it was dragging—but what's done is done. At the end of the day, it’s based on a true story, and I guess that’s why I didn't totally hate it... 😁
Thanks for sharing all these films, everyone👍

I’ve already seen Berlin Calling, and I caught that Pete Tong one too...
Still haven't found a way to download Astralis yet, though... 🙂

Actually, I just remembered another one if anyone feels like watching something in that vein...

It's a Paul Kalkbrenner live documentary— http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXrnpgSFwnU
Heh, "whether you're on a little bit or a lot of drugs," honestly, it doesn't even matter at this point 😂😂😂

Thanks for the movie recommendations, I'm hoping they actually live up to the hype... I'll check them out once I get them downloaded 👍
We could talk about the parties too... just go ahead and write them down.
It’s honestly ridiculous that nobody seems to know anything about any of this.
Hey there...

I was just sitting here wondering how many of you guys have actually sat through documentaries or movies about electronic music and the whole DJ culture...
Does that kind of stuff even exist? All I can really think of are "It's All Gone Pete Tong" and "Berlin Calling"...

If you know of any good ones, please drop some titles here...👍
