@kerollowyat, i don't think there is issue with ATI cards in Vista X64 as i'm using Vista X64 here Everything works fine so far

i think should b Palit/Gainward. Cooling efficiency and can be overclocked also. recommended.

sorta...gainward or palit will do (palit is cheaper LOL and is the same stuff )

super hot for 4850 only due to single slot...not all first batch suffers the problem as only Sapphire cards has correct idle wattage :3...

well, it depends on the codec used, not the gpu's fault as most codec don't really fully support hardware accelaration. heck, i can view full hd movies with a 3450 also =_=

well,imo..no point..not all games scale well in CF mode and also 8.12 had issue with CF..not sure bout 9.1

i did, dual 4850 xD...almost fried my main card xD...that time 8.12 had issue and it sorta can't detect the 2nd card..not sure if it's fix now..

mine so far nothin also..no crash or nothin..change new pc lor bro lol..

sigh, always user problem..go ahead and change to the green side then ..so far no issue here..i wonder how some of u that had issues use the gpu

Vista SP1 X64..no issue here..wat offer =.=..u want i can seek for it XD..

mine does not have the balloon if the ati thingie crashed..just tested grid..works fine here on 9.2 o_o..everything on full though..

well only u having crashing and etc..not every user has it..don't blame it on the drivers though >_>..ppl work hard to get drivers done..

==...blame urself >_<....get a new keyboard..and psu...and rams? >_>"

usually quite slow for us lor..and depends on the distro whether to slash price or not =/

Not sure whether is it fixxed or not but i did read up somewhere that i7 mobo has issue with CF. Well CF as usual, no all games will scale well in CF mode. Just get a X2 card will be better ..save space and slot too ..

well most blu-ray rips r like that..unless watched on a full hd tv....

same here..no crashes at all..played dead space and finish it..no crash at all o_O (running Vista X64 here also)
