SAPPHIRE HD4890 VAPORX 1G DDR5

misimpression — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:20:54 +0800

Hi guys, I recently came across this model in the garage sales and will be thinking of buying it. Was just curious about a few questions :

i) I'm going to play games such as Empire : Total War, The Sims 3, Elder Scrolls : Oblivion, and was wondering would this card be able to handle these games at max settings on a 24'' monitor?

ii) What is the difference between this card and a normal Sapphire HD4890 - mainly, what is the VaporX all about?

iii) Given my budget to purchase a gaming rig, for RM3800 excluding casing, would this be the most value for money graphics card for my gaming purposes?

Thanks in advance.

Creative Zen Micro 4GB

Don't know if I'm posting this in the right thread but here it goes, anyway...

I have a Creative Zen Micro 4GB which I'm definitely going to replace with something much newer, because my Zen Micro's a good 4 years old (which is kind of like 4 decades in technological terms ey?)

So anyway, I'm trying to figure out two things:

1) Should I bother selling it off? It's in pretty good condition, but the fact that it's so outdated and it's only 4GB (considered big for a micro then, but not anymore!), I'm guessing I won't be able to get more than RM100 for it. Maybe even less? I did see some people selling the 5GB for only RM200+ so this should be worth much less, yeah?

2) More importantly... What do I replace it with?! I've been so out of the loop with MP3 players that I don't know what's good and what's not anymore

I'm trying to get an idea of what sort of features I'd need, before I start choosing a player. I'm probably going to use it quite a fair bit when I go off to uni next year, so I'm thinking...

- at least 6GB of space
- decent battery life
- not necessarily the tiniest player, but something on the lighter side (in terms of weight)
- no need for photos
- the option of getting compatible docking speakers so I can turn it up and irritate everyone in my dorm
- do you think the video feature is necessary? Is it really worth watching videos on such a small screen?

And do you think RM1000 will be enough to cover all that, or should I be prepared for more?

Help me out cause I'm like the proverbial frog underneath the coconut husk when it comes to MP3 players Thanks!
