EDIT : I guess so...
If you forgot how you did that, then here it is...
There is a hyperlink on the right top corner of the page...would read - waynec121's profile. CLick on that and it would take you to the profile page...there in the left column, there is a link to Forum Options. Click on that and in the next page, you can find these settings...

thanks for the replies. the 4890 will definitely meet my friends needs and again later on if he crossfires another every game he would get could easily be maxed if not already only on 1 4890. And the sunbeam cpu is quite a steal with the tuniq tx-2 paste. saves him a few more dollars.
