    Upgrade Path From 5800?

    Hi All, Currently have an AMD 5800 Graphics Card (bought eighteen months or so ago) and a single Dell U2410 Monitor. I'm thinking of adding a second U2410 and upgrading my graphics card - what is the logical upgrade path now from a 5800, I'm a bit out of touch?! Thanks, Paul.

    i5 750 - wrong CPU?

    Hi, Anyone got any experience of HD video editing using an i5750? I've just built my folks a new rig with one of these and 8GB of RAM but I'm a bit concerned to note that my Dad's preferred software suggests that the min recommended spec for AVCHD editing is a 2.8GHz i7. I'm hoping to OC...

    New Build Problems!

    Thanks - I can probably find a use for that RAM in my i7 MB so would I be making things easier for myself if I just bought some more Dual Channel memory? Obviously we're focussing on the memory here - do you think this is the likley cause of my random lock ups?

    New Build Problems!

    New Build Problems!

    Thanks - no have not overclocked at all (haven't got it that far!) and have not changed any RAM timings or voltages from the stock default settings - should I? As regards two or three sticks - I have tried just using two (in the same colour coded slots) and it still crashes. I have not tried...

    New Build Problems!

    So then, if you assume that:- a) Both are readily available in stock. b) Cost is not an issue. All things being considered, i.e. performance for some FPS gaming and some semi-pro photographic work etc, would you buy a U2410 or U2711...??? Thanks,

    Hmmm, Just seen the review of the U2410 on PCM2's website and this sounds like an awesome bit of kit. I guess the dilema now, is whether it's worth paying almost twice the price for a U2711 with the issues highlighted above, when the U2410 seems to be better in some areas... My head hurts...

    i5 750 - any OC recommendations

    Anyone??? Have I goofed buying this MB and processor, I thought it was supposed to be a reasonable OC combination!

    Hmmm, yes, it was this one (as recommended by Custom PC):- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-209-GI&tool=3 Do I need to be worried?

    i5 750 - any OC recommendations

    Hi, Just building my Mum a new pc built around an i5 750 on a Gigabyte P55-UM2 motherboard. I want to overclock it a bit, but not too much as she won't be gaming or folding etc, but my Dad will be doing a bit of video encoding. Anyone able to recommend any good settings for this as a...

    So, with another couple of weeks gone by - anyone else have any views or do you still think a single U2711 is the way forward...?? I've come to the conclusion that using two monitors only, the central bezel will become annoying in games!

    Thanks all - mainly for photo work, general browsing and some sim type gaming (e.g FSX, FPS shooters such as CoD4 etc). I'm not a competitive twitcher. I also fancy being able to use it to watch HD movies on and hook up my PS3 when the fancy takes me. Its a new build PC - i7 920 (Oc'd to...

    dell 24", 27" or dunno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm in exactly the same dilemma!! I was in a specialist shop today (not the purple shirt one!) and it was suggested that as a viable alternative to either the U2410 or U2711 I consider the BenQ or LG LED screens. I must admit, Win 7 looked nice on the Ben-Q but any good...???!! Where is...

    Dell U2410 x 2 or U2711?
