    Cheapest card which is the equivalent to the NVIDIA 480 GTX?

    Hi, I think my graphics card (a nvidia 480) might be borked, so I was wondering what is the cheapest card these days that can match it in terms of performance? I can't find any nice easy benchmarking graphs which can tell me this! Thanks

    Replaced monitor DVI cable - now computer won’t POST?!

    I've tried clearing the cmos - no help. I do have a memok button, pressing and holding it restarts the computer but it doesn't actually do anything. Think it's worth reseating the CPU cooler then? I can't get any beeps out of it at all unless i remove all the memory sticks - if I remove the GPU...

    Replaced monitor DVI cable - now computer won’t POST?!

    Tried changing the graphics card to the other slot - didn't help :( By removing the RAM though I was able to get some beeps out of it. What does it then mean when it doesn't beep at all?

    Replaced monitor DVI cable - now computer won’t POST?!

    Hi, I’ve apparently borked my computer to the point where it won’t POST just by replacing the DVI cable - and I don’t understand how that is at all possible. I have a new monitor coming tomorrow, and wanted to see if the very short DVI cable I bought for it is even long enough to use with...

    Macbook Pro memory upgrade

    Ah, so there is a difference. Okay, was wondering about that. So if I go for the full 8, this'll do the trick? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-154-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1264

    Macbook Pro memory upgrade

    Hi, Was thinking of upgrading the RAM on my Late 2011 15" Macbook Pro (i.e., the one currently being sold). Have a couple of questions, firstly, on the Apple website it says "For best performance, fill both memory slots, installing an equal memory module in each slot." How true is this? I was...

    Coolermaster CM 690 II 2.5" drive installation?!?!

    Heya, So, trying to build the new comp but cannot figure out how my 2.5" SSD drive fits in! The instruction manual seems to specify a part that only comes with the plus model, only available in asia?! Surely not! I've fit a standard hard drive already, but how the bloody hell do I fit the...

    Only that it only has 2 6gb sata ports, while the ASUS has four no? I'm only thinking about this irritating sandybridge bug!

    What about the last spec with an asus motherboard? I can't seeing myself going SLI down the line...

    Help spec a noob a gaming PC!

    Cool. One last (I promise!) question though. The motherboard in your last spec only has 2 working sata ports, thanks to the mother board issue, right? So could I swap that out for one of the asus ones with 4 6gb/s SATA ports? Or would I need to change other components?

    Help spec a noob a gaming PC!

    Ok, so I think i'm gonna go with pretty much stulid's spec, so thanks a lot stulid. My one and only curiosity however is with the graphics card. Wouldn't it be better to go with the GTX 480 for just £3 more, or even the Radeon 6950? Both seem to score equal to, or higher, in the vast majority of...

    I can't really think why. Still though, why is sandy bridge so much better? They all seem the same to me!
