AMD 245

Hmmm... buggers, gone and shaved off the top of my 955BE C2 this past Sunday. The C1E state information is what has me interested. Apparently nippier coming out of that state which would be perfect for how I would run.

All very interesting, but then I remind myself I don't really need all that extra kick.

Shouldn't be the CPU, MW2 ran smooth on max settings on my old E5200 @ 2.5Ghz.

Maybe its time to get that i7 machine killa

That seems about right. (my card was OCd hence higher score)

The CPU score also seems to be on par with others http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=411083

Ya the temp on my card is not high either, idling now at 48.

Ya brawler i think i7 would be awesome and the time may becoming but i think i will try the 965 route first cause i want a new vga card.

yeah me to but nvidia taking there time.

Would be worthwhile to wait, i have a feeling that the new Nvidia cards will beat the current ATi offerings. the 5870 is better than or equal to nvidias current flagship card so the flagship card in the GT300 series will only be better imo

Will just have to wait and see

You'll be lucky if you can actually buy one in april.

 

[killadoob]

Maybe so but by then the 5890 should be cheaper than 7k .
