    Yeah, the Antec 300 is pretty awesome, a lot of my mates have one.

    Does the 5770 show a decent performance boost over the 4850? Looking at some benchmarking stats they don't seem to differ hugely.

    Six frames with Bad Company 2 maxed out with no AA or AF at 1920x1200. Not enough of a difference for you to upgrade. However, two 5770s in Crossfire also more potent than two 4850s by the same number of frames, so it takes the cake in my book with its added DX11 support. What kills the performance of the single 5770 is the 128-bit bus, otherwise it would be about on par with a 4870 or 4890.

    I'm just pretty limited on money is all. Might just upgrade the CPU for now and wait for GPU prices to drop.

    Probably the best thing to do. The only reason I upgraded was because Dawn of War is a slideshow with more than two AI.

    While I don't think it's the best case, nor even the best looking case, for the price I love my 922.

    Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!

    Alright folks, I need a bit of advice/suggestions. I just inherited a 4-year-old notebook computer from my Dad. It's a Toshiba Satellite A110.

    Intel Celeron M 1.46GHz single core
    512mb DDR2 533MHz
    60GB hard drive
    Radeon XPress 200M w/ 128mb shared (I know, YUCK!)
    DVD multi burner
    Windows XP Home Edition.

    I'd like to know if it would be worth it to upgrade the RAM in this sucker and whether laptop RAM is manufacturer specific. What I mean is, can I buy a random DIMM of 1GB DDR2 533MHz notebook RAM and will it most likely fit? Would it be worth it to use this sucker for light gaming (Deus Ex, Starcraft, HL1, that sort of thing, suggestions welcome!) or should I use it solely for running my messenger programs while I'm gaming or watching movies on the desktop?

    It's not really worth upgrading the RAM on that. You could do light light gaming, but anything else would be terrible quality.

    Install Windows 2000 and play old games or install Linux.
