XLR Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Looks good, the 4870 should be more than enough imo. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235587-new-setup/#findComment-1571719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Leopard Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Looks good, the 4870 should be more than enough imo. really? please explain how I can save over £100! I thought that since OS X will recognize the 5870 it was worth it? thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235587-new-setup/#findComment-1571726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
