    Replace 7800GT OC with 7900 GS OC??

    I want to replace my BFG 7800 GT OC card, and I have the opportunity to do a direct swap for a 7900 GS OC. It won't cost me anything. I would probably end up getting a 2nd 7900 GS OC in the future, but I'm wondering if I should do this? Is the 7800 GT OC better than the 7900 GS OC? From...

    Slight O/C.. need help

    want to overclock my computer.. However I have stock cooling. I mean, even if I just go from the 3.2 stock to 3.4, I'd be happy. In the Bios setup, I change my FSB to 850, from the stock 800 (Intel quad pumps it, so it's 850/4=212.5 FSB). Now, do I need to change my memory speed as well? I have...
