    6870 or 560?

    Not much of a difference, but if you're overclocking then that's a different story.

    CREATIVE T6160 config issues

    Go look at your realtek audio manager located on your control panel and see if everything is assigned to their proper places. I got the same issue setting up a creative sbs 500 on a friend's intel mobo based rig. All I did was replug the connectors and it worked fine.

    If you're talking about that "athlon" in your sig. then difference will be astronomical :D

    Core 2 Duo vs Quad vs i3 - oldtimer needs some help

    An atom build would still serve you great if all you do is browse the net but that would limit your upgrade path if ever your needs changes.

    What graphic cards can my cpu support?

    A 9500GT but I'd rather get an athlon II x2 cpu, 785G mobo and 2gb of ram and stick on the HD4200 onboard until I could save up money for a good card. You can sell your old motherboard, processor and ram for additional funds.

    my old 8600 as a PhyisX card?

    The 8600GT is too weak to render physx better off with the GTX 460 doing the physx. It wouldn't hurt to try though and compare results w/ and w/o the 8600GT. But you got to figure out first how to insert a pci-ex16 card on a pci-ex1 slot :P

    question about nvidia physx

    If the game supports nvidia's physx then letting the gpu handle the physics well yield to much better framerates than let the cpu do the task. It will look better too ( that I'm not sure if the difference in detail is noticeable, never seen one myself since I've always been an ati user ).

    Gtx 460 vs radeon 5770

    Be it the 768mb or the 1GB version. Both cards are faster than the HD5830, generally.

    4890 -GTX460 Worth it?

    Worth it if you want to try dx11 and values the fact of saving a bit of power. But performance difference? If we speak of the current games, the HD4890 is still quite capable, and due to most dx9 games still being produced and released, then difference won't be that noticeable considering the...

    Crossfire & SLI

    Depends on what 512mb graphics card we are talking about. If you already got a motherboard with crossfire, good psu, then getting two HD4850's is better than a single HD4870, price and performance wise ( that's based on the current pricing here in my place ). Though you have to consider, say a...

    two 8600 GTS or two 4650?

    bandwidth ain't anything,...though the HD 4650 is ddr2, it still outperforms the 9500GT which was a bit faster than the 8600GTS.

    Official 3DMark06 Rank Thread

    here's mine,...don't mind 3dmark06 reading my oc'ed E5200 at 4.1ghz,..it seems to be a bios problem. If set my fsb above 333mhz, it shows false readings. I included cpu-z in my screenshot to show the actual speed of my processor. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1313/screenshotfinale.png
