    Massive power at lower wattage. What a combination.

    Well I took the plunge and bought an XFX5850 the other day and installed it last night.

    Used the parts I could salvage from the heat exhausted Shuttle SD37P2V2 box, so thats an Intel Q6600 (existing), 4GB DDR2-800 RAM OCZ (existing), 1TB Samsung HDD (existing), Win 7 64 Ultimate (existing), Seasonic 500W p/s (existing - was a spare I had doing nothing), Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR mobo (AUD135) and XFX HD5850 GPU (AUD475) and its crunching Collatz now. Let's give it a day or so to get warm and see how much it produces.
