Whats your Thoughts? Help me consider

Hi all gamers and kaki portable. This year we've been blasted with more and greater entertainment system not to mention, the portable. Phones and consoles are hot. However,(my 2 cents) playing games on moblie phones just doesn't cut it (need button i guess). I need a cooler system. Latest as we all know is the vita and 3ds.

Both are cool, both are great in their own way. For me the Vita (another 2 cents) is more advanced. The resolution and clarity of the screen is crisp. But to concentrate a fully detailed graphic in a small screen is not so comforting.But the vita has a good internet tools, and also great to watch movies on it. While the 3ds(XL),, (another 2 cents)for me, is not so advanced (the pixelated screen) although it still manage to pull off some great graphic. Playing simple games on it with modest resolution on a small screen (another 2 cents) wouldn't bother much. However, some titles for the nintendo's is the reason to choose the 3ds (you know the games).

Those are my opinions on those consoles. There was a time where i actually was to bring either one home,, but still return empty handed. I cant decide although i know the only points to choose each consoles (another 2 cents) is whether great graphic or memorable games. I know many of you guys out there has experienced any of these (my colleague have both and ive tried em). Just want to know what your thoughts, the Pros and Cons. There wont be any right or wrong about your opinion and any mixed thoughts is gonna be Fun to share.

I have a MSi 8800gt OC 512mb ddr3. I would like to know which amount of power of power supply that suitable for the card. My rig is a dual core athlon processor 3.2ghz. I've used gigabyte Odin Pro 550watt and it cant support the card in SLi mode( my board melt).

What can you recommend whether 500watt is enough or i need more. Any opinion??

Burnt hardware lol! Help!

Hello there, Im new here. See, i have a problem regarding my computers hardware. Heres are my specs:

1st specs:
Athlon X2 BE 6400@3.2Ghz
4gb XMS2 corsair (2gd pair)
Mobo: Gigabyte MA57sli DS4(solid capasitor)
PSU: Gigabyte Odin Pro 550w
MSi 8800GTOC 2 keping.

1st problem. Well, for the first 5 month ive been using single GPU and its quite OK. But when I add another one, the system become unstable. I cannot play game for more than 30 minutes otherwise it shut the down it self. After a month of cannot-play-game-sli-pc, the system is still running only for light task. When i suka-suka open the board to clean the dusk, i noticed that theres a burnt part on the MOBO. Goes for warranty but they say burnt board-no warranty. Fine then. And also, 2 gigs of 4 also damage. On my recent system and mobo, the system detects 4 gigs but on other only 2 can use. There fly another thing.

2nd specs. Then bought XFX 750 i sli mobo 3 month ago. Before this, all runs smooth but until couple days ago, the power socket on the mobo and the power supplies 4 pin socket melt out and whoa!! thats another 2 big deal to dealt with. Went to lowyat and send them both for warranty. chances to be getting a claim is very low since it appears that it has a physical damage.

Is it true that SLI mode does have a certain problem where single card doesnt. Ive been using a CoolerMaster CM690 and i think its big enough with good ventilation.Ive been thinking on changing the whole system using a single card GPU but powerful and considerably up-to-date mobo.

I have a question here:
What is the good watt of power supply if im planning to use a 4850 or 4870HD, or maybe GTX 260 or 9800 gtx. Is it 350Watt true power or more??

those who has a same problem or got any idea on whats going on, feel free to post. I fell like ive been played by those V!#^WN^&$#T guys.
