The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Wow, just saw this. Those are some great prices! Unfortunately, I don't have the money yet to get the parts for my desktop :(

    Thanks for this, I was eyeing the 4850x2 2gb for a while to get more than 2 monitors going, and this finally made me take the plunge!

    The HD 4870 is priced really well, especially given its performance roughly equals the GTX 260 overall (different games are typically optimized for one company). Too bad that it is so poor in its power efficiency.
