It would be cool if motherboards start putting really good integrated cards, but yeah I don't ever buy a top of the line 400.00 video card or multiple cards. I don't see the point. I spend like 150 - 200 most on my cards.

Both Nvidia and Ait are great. AMD cpus however are going downhill. When AMD's new bulldozer can't beat an i5 2500k you have a problem. Ever since the Core 2 duo they have been going downhill. The phenom II x4 was the last decent cpu AMD has made.

Lol @ only 128 bit memory.

nothing. I'm never going to buy an apple product again. Foxconn treats their workers like crap, overworks them for little pay. Never gonna buy any electronic made in communist China again.

Sorry but if you buy Bulldozer I cant help but view you as a fanboy! Intel beats it in EVERY single way.

Intel's been dominating AMD ever since core 2 duo's came out. I will be getting an i7 with my next build.

Anyone else would be better than Obummer. I'm tired of hearing all his speeches and no action. I'm not even American and would dread another 4 years of this failure.

I would love for Ron Paul to win, most people think he's crazy but he is the most intelligent and honest politician today. Less government = more prosperity.

Im considering upgrading my PC for Bf3, currently I am running

Intel E6700 2.66Ghz Dual core

2GB Ram

ATI 4850

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Motherboard

Currently this runs Bc2 at my native res of 1920x1080 at playable fps 20-30 in combat on medium,dx9,no bloom etc.

Would I get the same results in BF3, or would it be unplayable. Secondly if I upgrade to say a 9850 or 6950 would this boost me up to playable fps at medium and lastly is it still possible to purchase ram for this motherboard or would the newer ram be incompatable?

While I could always build a new rig, and will be doing in the next year I would just like to perform a cheap upgrade to allow me to play BF3 at medium Setting at my native res on a reasonable fps.

Thanks in advanced

if it can run bc2 it should run bf3 at similar settings with that setup. If you knowhow looki into overclocking your cpu a bit and it should help.If you want to upgrade I would just rather build a whole new pc.

My next build will have an i7 cpu,and an asus rampage mobo(for easy overclocking purposes)8gb ddr3 ram, and a dx 11 card like a 560ti. My current card is an 8800gt, and an e8600 cpu.

Monthly fees. That's the only mistake. NerubianWeaver

pretty much this. Also all of them being 15.00/month. Maybe if some of them brought it down to 10.00 it would be better.

Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Skryim, Dead Island, Star Wars Old Republic, Arkham City, Trackmania 2.

MAYBE Diablo 3, I'll have to wait until or if it gets released. I'm not too keen on it.
