| AMD 780G and 9850BE---Taking the Plunge Well----I'm taking the plunge to a new AMD780G board and a 9850BE Phenom quad..... Price is right.... And I love the idea of onboard graphics that can crossfire with a $45 Vid Card Was going to go with a 9550 Phenom----but the Blacks were only $40 more so what the heck.... Nobody seems to want to do AMD Overclocking ----or even do AMD any more because Intel is so solid nowadays..... but the prices were just too good to pass up for a small SFF box I want to put on my workbench in my garage to do some baseball video stuff for my HS baseball team. Will report back once I'm set up with impressions

| Re: AMD 780G and 9850BE---Taking the Plunge If it weren't for folding, I'd be find with a Phenom - plenty fast enough for most game (and I would overclock it, of course!). Good luck john, let's know how it goes  |

| Re: AMD 780G and 9850BE---Taking the Plunge Going all red plus black (Phenom) is interesting. The new790GX is very cheap and so are Phenoms. Would make for a nice settup you could play with. Spider I believe they call it. Anyway, I would own this before I owned any other non-Intel chipset. |
