i have been running an AMD based rig for a couple of years now and it still does everything i throw at it, the spec is AMD Phenom 2, 3.4g 4 core, with arctic cooler mounted on it,Asus motherboard, ATI Radeon 4870 graphics card, 8gig ram,CoolerMaster HAF case. i feel that for a lot of people the AMD kit offers very good value for money and if your not into hard core gaming is more than adequate.

i believe you take a picture of brightly lit grass without the filter on, set a custom wb using this to use when you use the filter, can be done on K5. don,t know how you set up a custom wb on kr but it will be in the manual somewhere.

Aysgarth falls as well if you are in Wensleydale , a triple set, unfortunately when we stayed there there had been no rain ,verging on drought conditions. no danger of that this year so the falls should be spectacular
