Had to go through three of them to get one I was mostly content with. Dead pixels, loose bezel, and screen distortion when pressing on the screen made me return the first two.

Already running Android off a microSDHC card. Much more versatile that way. Have to pick up a faster memory card tomorrow if I feel like crawling out and dealing with stomach pain.

Use Autonooter and root it. My wife likes the stock software plus having android on there so that's the best way to go in my opinion. There are instructions in my blog.

A Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green

How many SPU (cores) is that packing?

has to be over 1,000? mines 800 (5770) @1011Mhz and i'm banging through video games.

1120!!!!!! muahahahaha

i think it's just stock clocked at 900mhz though.

we'll see if i get the rebate back for it though. with it being on sale and the $30 rebate, the price ends up being only $150.

it was a big improvement over the 40 in the built in gpu, lol.

funny thing is, this video card weighs more than my evil red htpc.

8800GTS/X was a heavy heavy heavy card. almost 4 pounds hahahah.

they did the heatsink on the 5770's brilliantly. and its got a turbo turbo sport fan hahaha. but the rest of it is basically just cowling.

I also like the fact that the card has two possible exits for air.


1120 cores... man your going to tear a@# through any video game you play! Its sad to see that software is lagging behind hardware capabilities these days ( I blame consoles getting popular)

It used to be you get a game, and nothing on the planet can run that game good... now-a-days it seems even 2nd or 3rd generation cards can play todays games at about the highest settings possible.


Need to hurry up with the Xbox 540 and playstation 4 so i can finally make use of my DX11 features like tessellation and volumetric physics smoke. because ported DX9 games are pretty flippin' plain looking these days compared to the PC only titles with DX11 and full features.

Nice heatsink on that 5770. I guess they decided not to sink any of the memory or mosfets? That'd pretty much make full-coverage waterblocks unnecessary; just stick on a universal and you're covering everything that the original did. :D
