I'd for for a phenom 965 rather than i5 or i7 - yes intel is faster, but do you actually need that speed?

and that speed for the price when you can overclock Phenoms just as well? I get your point.

Just so I get this straight, and yes I am on a couple of OC forums, but generally speaking, if I change nothing else BUT continue to increase the CPU's clock, am I unleashing more juice from my video card?

in general the higher CPU frequency allows for greater data throughput from CPU to chipset, which = a faster throughput from CPU/chipset to GPU. :)

as you can see from the benches i listed, i bottleneck quite badly with this card & my chip is not that slow.

Atikmpag.sys BSOD on ATI HD5970
Hi guys, I'm having a major problem with the "atikmpag.sys" BSOD error whenever I try to play video games (and the occasional random crash too).
