    Graphics Card Comparison Table

    Thanks everyone, and I'll check the comparison tables too. Was looking at the MSI HD 7850 as someone was good enough to link.

    P5b-VM

    With a CD 6400 in this board I have managed at last to raise the FSB from 266 to 313 Mhz and tightened up the memory timings a notch (PC5300). Previously I couldn't get above about 275 then I saw a thread about raising the PCI to 120. I set the PCI to 115 and got the FSB to 305, then to 313...
