That doesn't sound right because on their own chart, they had the 6700 series performing on par with the 5800 series. Something doesn't add up here.

I just realized, AMD has now come full circle with Nvidia's old build numbers. When I first got into PC building the Nvidia 6800 and ATI X800 GPU's were king.
So, the new HD6870 is on par with an HD5850, and the 6850 is slightly better than a 5770. As far as I'm concerned, this is a naming fail for AMD. Now a shitload of people are going to be confused. Having said that, the cards are excellent for the segments they target; nVidia's GTX460 and 470 have some serious competition now.
I'm buying two of these for my laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136567
Any reason I shouldn't?
Because these have infinitely better performance:Quote:

LOL, one of those costs more than both of the ones he wants combined.Quote:

What most people don't realise is that often a quality 5400 rpm laptop drive is just as fast as the 7200 rpm drives.Quote:

Why anybody would pay for an SSD at the current prices is completely beyond me. It just doesn't make sense to spend that much money. It'll drop in price eventually. 7200RPM drives do fine and if you can't wait that long, you should go learn some patience.
