I am looking at updating my rig. I am running a modded vaporchill LS, and currently clock my X2 4800 to 3.2ghz, and my old OPT 150 to 3.5ghz. Has anyone hit 4.0ghz stable on some of the newer AMD's? What does everyone recommend as far as a new build?

Last week i got two new CPU's, an OPT 150, and an OPT 148. I am happy with my 150, so i am selling the 148 CABNE. Brand new, powered up once on air to verify that it worked, never raised the voltage, never OC'd it. My Dfi will not push HTT's over 293 with any stability, so the lower...

With the 6800 series, if you ran a widescreen DVI native monitor (like my 23" Apple) you were locked in at the native resolution (1920x1600 iun my case). not only were you not able to scale your desktop resolution, games, 3dmark included, can only run at 1920x1600, and not scale back to say...

Is there or will there be diffrent versions of the 7800? for instance all you can buy now is the 7800GTX, but in a few days/weeks is there going to be a 7800 Ultra?
