your best bet is too go with a DDR3 board for future upgradability..i would've done the same if i saved enough to buy all my hardware at once...
thats one of the cons of upgrading-by-parts so they work with your current config and than getting other things later :)
thanks for the help jedi
1.52V for 3.6?! ~~
im at 3.5 right now with 1.42...i think i'll stay there if i have to dump on that much more voltage for 3.6,no thanks :)
yeah...all phenom 720's are black edition as far i know...i get all kinds of different OC numbers in AMD overdrive and temp monitoring...i cant raise the multiplier anywhere in BIOS...kinda strange
got the latest bios with the biostar 790gx 128m mobo but the only overclocking that seems to work best is the automatic options (V6 V8 V12)
i really wanna know how i can raise the multiplier in bios for this board...cant seem too find it anywhere..trying to get phenom 720 to 3.6...
Just ordered my XFX 4890 and Phenom 720 from NCIX! ...cant wait till it gets here!...i was gonna get the XT version but i was kinda short (didn't know their'd be an OC on launch)....lol had to reduce my shipping options even just to keep it under how much money i had.....
Hopefully this is...
thanks for the help yall,especially spyder
i'll put my 8800GT and CPU up on craigslist for a quick local sale when the 4890 comes out and make the purchase along with your recommended 720
Only ATi card i've ever owned was the x1950 pro and it was enough of an experience to steer a person...
thanks for all the replies...im pretty sure the only thing i do that would really benefit from a quad is CRYSIS...
so a 4870 eh? ....the sapphire 1gb on newegg looks like a good deal...but can my CPU really power things? i know its gonna be a slight bottleneck but i dont wanna see 120FPS and...
Hey yall, is the phenom 940 a INSANE upgrade over a 2mb AMD dual core at atleast 3ghz?
i really dont feel like im getting the most out of my 8800GT and this CPU "on paper" looks like it destroys my current one....
im aware this chip would most likely run "unrecognized" as i have no interest...
i've been looking at the phenom 940 and wanted to get it during summer....
my biggest question would probably be is this the best OC board for C$180 for the 940?
..this mobo doesn't say anything about supporting 800mhz ram? and i was wondering if i could just
throw everything i have now...
good demo besides minor frame drops at certain parts...that B*tch in the theatre made me pop outta my chair!...nothing too spectacular for the price tag though (if the demos a big representation of the game as a whole)
i may go with this card after its first "BIG" driver update
....i had a TERRIBLE problem with the x1950 pro (my only ATI attempt) but i was very happy with the performance and IQ until it F*d up a few hours after....i really wanna like these 4*** series cards! ,will see how it goes
