Wow that's really useful information, well actually no it's not. Majority don't care what scales faster with 4.8GHz+ systems for the simple reason we don't use them, this article was a huge waste of time to satisfy the fanboys. Even after update the crossfire solution is still the best...

Agreed, great software but he has no social skills at all and usually comes of as a complete nob. :D

So how many 2560x1600 gamers we got here compared to 1920*1200 and 1680*1050? lol Pointless comparision, 1920*1200 results or don't bother imo.

GTA4 is a poorly coded piece of crap, that's basically why is runs this badly and there no point over analysing why the performance is so poor. We will see posts from users in the next 3-5 years with the latest tech still asking the same question. Hell I could never even complete the game...

"Why?" I think that sums up this thread, do you think Microsoft are aware of this problem?

It was after flashing the drive, still ridiculous that I needed to use XP to format the drive afterwards though.

Ok, I think i've got round the problem by using my old windows xp cd and formating the drive with that, now windows 7 reads it as a system drive so hopefully should now install. How did microsoft screw this one up? lol

You know a program I can use to clear the drive? this was ment to be a quick re-install and now 1 hour later i'm going nuts.:mad: The exact message it's giving me "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing partition"

I've tried it with both IDE and AHCI but i'ts not accepting it, keeps telling me it's unable to find a partition or something like that after i've partitioned and formated the drive. Whats going on? Shouldnt windows 7 fully support ssd drives and even ahci? :confused:

Thats a really nice case, but the price is far higher then im willing to pay, allot of of system is being put together with spare parts so really not looking to spend that much, just trying to decide on a case for everything.

Thats not bad either, but wouldnt the latest ones ship with a PCIE riser? I would thought that would be standard. Also would this also need the PCIE slot to be the 6th from bottom ?

Bump, anyone know if this motherboard will be compatible with the Thermaltake case? Sorry to bump but I need this info.

Thanks for the info, i'm not sure if it's the 6th from bottom, but it's the Asus P5Q-E i'll be using, anyway to check without sticking it in a case?

Too big imo, just looks like a standard case on it's side, I quite like the thermaltake one but I need to figure what exactly I can fit in there , graphics card, cpu cooler that fit in a slim case...etc..

Thats a little more like it, but what would be the best graphics card you could fit in there? any cards designed for slim htpc cases? Is the riser only for PCI and PCIE?, not sure how a PCIE card would fit without it.
