[Nikumba]

Well its not so much replacing my current card as needing a new one due to its going all screwing with 3d programmes.

My bad on the power connector front just realised what it meant

But i wont be getting a new rig till end of the month so i will probally wait and stay using my linux server and 360 for gaming till i can decide

March 30th me thinks they have gotten that article way to late as AMD have already said its delayed after that, article looks like old news they just publishing now.

Its like reading a copy of Custom PC

Whoops just posted this link, yeah see a few odd Wait or buy threads... maybe a thread like this will cause a few sucide trips But really the news isnt 100% and tbh if u got a 8800GTX just enjoy it u can always end up on the For sales forums few weeks later

LOL I like some of their stuff, but where did they dig up a x1900GT last month? That is a very old card to be recommending!

I agree but some articles are a little shallow, the review on the P5N-E SLI was very misleading. They state that they could only OC their Conroe to 2.8ghz but failed to mention that its possible to get an e6300 to 3.4ghz by spending 2 minutes adding a NB fan and stabalizing the Vdroop with a few rubs of a pencil.

True - if they are going to be the enthusiast magazine, then they should really go all out on a board.

Their reviews on games and how to tweek them is also very lame.
