The Radeon HD 5670 is the smallest card we've seen from ATI's 5000 series of GPUs, and with DirectX 11, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs and a single-height cooler as standard, it's an ideal fit for compact media-centre PCs.

It's plenty powerful enough to decode 1080p Blu-ray, and can also run the latest games, albeit at low quality settings: the 512MB version scored 58fps in our 1280 x 1024 Crysis test at Medium settings, falling to 25fps when raised to High at 1600 x 1200, and also ran World in Conflict at 34fps in High settings at the same resolution.

The larger and more powerful HD 4770 is still our value GPU of choice for gamers, but the HD 5670 is a cheap and neat media alternative that beats its own predecessor for performance while matching it on price.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written;
