ive never seen a single AMD commercial on tv in my life lol even as a kid in the 90s i remember the intel pentium commercials the catchy intel jingle and then the commercial with Blurs' song 2 and the brightly colored thermal suits, so this is my first AMD commercial lol

the polciy i speak of is making u have to get another validation code for the OEM copy when u change mobos, its an annoyance

GTR12

Pickup phone, dial number, press buttons for automated computer, enter number, computer reads a number back and you type it in...

6 steps is annoying huh?

[QUOTE="jpm27"] This is mostly true, the copy is tied to your hardware. However if you change out parts and reinstall windows, the install may prompt you to contact MS. Once you explain what you are during (reinstalling windows on the same PC after an upgrade), they'll gave you a new windows key to use to complete the install.

yes im 100% sure i can find a link if youd like. An SSD installs like a regular HHD unless its one of the types that plugs directly into the PCI port in that case you jsut plug it into the port and attach the sata cable and start up the pc put in the windows disk and install it, you could configure the bios first if you want, its all personal preferences.
use AHCI for SSDs(exceppt with OCZ but OCZ sucks so meh)

could be his CPU holding back that 570 but try this first, and follow standard precaution open up the pc and reseat the card and make sure you have the 8 and 6 pins firmly inserted redo the benchmark and lets us know
