No, but it's not going to benefit as much with a phenom with better architecture. Since you're running 2x decent DX10 cards, the benefit overall is going to be moot, unless you want DX 11. I mean, it will benefit you, but nothing overly amazing. IMO. Plus, the 480 runs hotter than hell. I would...
buy another router and get DD-WRT or Tomato.. and use it as a AP/Repeater. That's if you want to go the wireless route. Make sure you use one that's compatible though. Or you could just get a dedicated repeater, but I myself prefer a 2nd router.
I always seem to ping 20 ms or lower to Chicago, IL. But, Illinois is not in my state. I live in Michigan. A state away or two, but in Michigan, I get higher ping times from the same host around 40 ms when testing to Detroit. I'm just curious how Chicago, IL offers such great latency when it's...
I'm hoping by September or Christmas.They're already around 289. It's the only card I can justify going to from my 8800; however the 5830 looks decent as well, but not significantly better.
I honestly can't recall and I'm too lazy to look harder inside the case.
But, I'm more than sure it would handle a 5850, if it can take my Q6600 at 4.0. But, right now my GPU is doing fine. So I don't know. Plus, money is a real issue and if my 8800GT is still prowling along, I'll keep it. It...
My specs are in my sig. I have an Antec 500W powersupply. Recently it seems my 8800GT doesn't like to stay cool despite re-applying thermal paste. It's helped, but...... for lack of better words it seems to just be dying. I'll get random freezes in games, flickers, and black screens...
Disable C1E and EIST
If that doesn't work, make sure your memory is running at 1:1 and then try loosening your ram timings.
I could get my Q6600 to 4.0 Ghz on air..........
It's going to be slightly better performance and I mean, slightly. I would say the 5850 mobile is equal to a desktop 5770, maybe a tad less. It's not bad for a replacement at all, but it depends what you're going for.
If anything, I would look at the mobile 5870
