yup, but still can run-la, perhaps add another 1GB RAM will be better
my HD4670 on my system on the other hand ... would it bottleneck my rig?

aiseh, i meant HD4670 bottleneck my E8400
but so far so good

but from what i read, P43 not that great for OC is it?

u know, i think old intel stock cooler might not be that bad
last week when i got my new rig, the seller showed to me my new E8400's HSF straight out from the box, then he asked me whether i know how old Intel's HSF looked like, then he showed me some old HSF from his stock, the new HSF's thickness reduced by almost half of the older version's

good for normal usage la, i do not OC, so good enough, and the fan is quiet
i have seen the new E8500 packaging as well, the box was ... small

somehow i feel that we are way OT for this thread, nobody mentioned anything about "Gainward" in the past few pages

just got the 4670 then now wanna change to 4830, might as well just buy the 4850 in the first place

the price and power consumption also
4850 > 4830 > 4670

try overloading it 24/7, see how long your PSU can last
after 598W the PSU died silently
certainly much better than Buru Kunci where it exploded even before hitting the labeled wattage

Sunway and Puchong can COD, or u can go to their shop in Seri Kembangan
or just do postage, i have seen how they handle postage stuff, very secure

drop drop drop, then i can upgrade next year

EPU is a power savings tech by ASUS
but i think Gigabyte's version should be DES

waiting for newer EPU version, current version does not support 4670

try turning off ur EPU and see whether ur electricity bill will shoot up by another rm100 or not?

enable DES and shut down when not in use, that will help to save energy
another option is, get back ur HD4670, super power savers card

the popular 1 would be PCSX2
but seems like no longer progressing lately

enjoying ur new toy?

i did not let out what was your new toy also
so did u run furmark with it? tested any nice game with it?
my PSU ok already, got a new replacement from the distributor, hopefully it would be fine this time, touch wood, 3rd PSU already

6 months later people might be aiming for 5850 or 5870 DX11 card
technology is moving too fast

that won't stop you enthusiasts from buying
so far so good, 3rd time switch on, no spark or fireworks or whatsoever, touch wood
hopefully it would run fine until i change my rig few years later
did not have good experience with the PSU, but the seller and distributor have been friendly and helpful, fast replacement and did not give LCLY look that most retailers give when bring back for RMA

so how about your 4850GS? enjoying it?

yeah, heard that 4850 and 4870 stock are pretty scarce now, except for reference board
those who bought earlier are lucky since the price will go up soon
