fix for you! from teh w1zz

I see one problem with that...does everyone have a replacement video card to boot from?

Also which review is the best?

and has anyone found out what speed cpu unlocks the full power of the 4870?

Not always of course, but a PCI or PCI-Express cheapie card can be picked up from a local shop for $5-20 depending on your luck, a small hassle but worth it and cheaper/quicker than buying a whole new card of the same type . Alternatively, if you have a friend with a computer (I think most of us do!) you could ask if you can borrow their videocard for a few minutes .
