Dec 16, 2008 - He's building and modding a computer for his "customer"; the parts were giving to him to build it. That's why he's being overly careful, or maybe not, it's never a bad idea to do though. You should always be careful with your computer hardware.

Jan 18, 2009 - uhh just incase you didnt know tj... the Cat drivers are monthly. so 8.6 is 2008 and the sixth month. so since this vid was made in september ati would have been up to 8.8 or 8.9. probably 8.8 since they usually don't release drivers at the start of the month..9.1 drivers will be interesting to see. bif oh hype going around about it...

Jan 21, 2009 - Id say its best to stay cautious anyway, you might always be so lucky :PI would never be sliding expensive components around on a carpet xD

a7x5631 Says:

Jan 21, 2009 - Haha, well I don't intentionally do it. And it's not like the video card itself, it's the whole case. But I've had my card sit on carpet before and pick it up and back down and it was fine.

Apr 12, 2009 - Hey im thinking about getting that card but the 1gb edition from saphire toxic something, also my CPU is gonna be the E8400, 1333 FSB and 3.0 GHz or the Q6600, 1066 FSB and 2.4 GHz. ( Those 2 CPU's wont bottleneck the GPU i hope). Im thinking about getting the Q600 and try and overclock it but im not really good at that... if you could do a video on how to overclock a CPU on a AMI bios ( mobo P5Q-E) Thanks for your time

taydan04 Says:

Jun 21, 2009 - I like the ATI's they put allot more Stream processors in than Nvidia although if PhysX does well its gonna be hard to turn away from Nvidia cards

zomgbbqwth Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - 1gb will be better than 512mb cos it can rander more frames in advance with extra memory~ :Dbut they are both ddr5... though you can OC the memory and core clks~ :D
