    3008WFP VS. 3007WFP-HC

    Just pulled the trigger at Dell for one of these. Had one of their first 30" models and I missed the 2560x1600 resolution. For 1200 bucks shipped with advanced exchange and zero bad pixel guarantee I figured worth a shot.

    Apple OS X Leopard questions for the pros?

    Leopard's Disk Utility lets you choose to write zeros across every sector to erase it completely - there's not going to be any trojan left over after than

    1920x1200 gaming -- 4850 or 4870?

    I can answer specifically about Warhammer Online - I had a 9800gt and went from that to 4870 - my framerate went up across the board by a good amount but the most noticeable was going into heavily populated areas On the test server in city sieges with tons of spell effects on screen at a...

    4850 for 1920x1200 ? or need 4870 ? to replace 9800gt...

    Actually no the original card was NOT good enough for my requirements , as I said I wanted zero , ZERO slowdowns even if running up on 50 other players in enemy RvR or in the city with tons of detail around , The 9800gt was "good" but still had noticeable slowdowns if you had tons on screen...

    Replaced it with a 4870 - Warhammer Beta was noticeablely better than the 9800gt - it didnt do bad but had moments of hitching when huge crowds came into view - the 4870 has none

    4850 for 1920x1200 ? or need 4870 ? to replace 9800gt...

    Well leaning towards the 4870 now , guess about a hundred bucks more if its a more noticeable jump I dont mind Any issues dropping just one ATI on the nvidia motherboard ? And I guess I should consider a slot cooler positioned above it to exhaust more heat out ? I keep hearing they really...
