Why not? If you can have it, get it.

And what do you use that for? Rendering? Gaming? Surfing the net? (I assume you might be able to get decent speeds in Firefox, but IE is just way too demanding on system hardware)

I used it to play starcraft at a lan party...

Firstly i apologise for the huge link. But i cant copy the specs, due to a recent windfall from the mod in light of the op. I'm buying one of these. On thursday http://www.google.co.uk/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcworld.co.uk%3A80%2Fmartprd%2Fstore%2Fpcw_page.jsp%3Fpage%3DProduct%26sku%3D100061&hl=en&client=ms-tm_mb_no_pda&q=Dell+xps+pc+world&source=m&channel=bm

Get rid of the first dash, then insert your address, then set the text that you want to appear. You'll end up with this link.

Get what? If I'm going to wait until June, I might as well wait another month or two and pick up a GT200.

[Ashrak]

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 (4x 3.0GHz).  Not overclocked yet.
Geforce 8800 Ultra
Asus P5K-e
Corsair Dominator 8Gb DDR2-800 4-4-4-12.  It's listed at 1066 5-5-5-15, but it's unstable at that speed.  I'm thinking of dropping the timings even lower (3-4-3-10).  I have 3GB dedicated to a ramdisk.
2x WD 80GB drives in a RAID1 (Operating System Drive)
2x WD 500GB drives in a RAID0 (Data Drive)
Logitech G15 keyboard
Logitech G5 laser mouse.
Windows XP x64.

err, the lower the timings the more strain on the memory yaknow.

I'm saying that if ATi wants to improve power by doubling their card, why not?

EDIT: And Dekker, you could get a much better PC for 5000 bucks if you made it yourself. It's not really that hard to do.

5k ??

Whoaaa, wrong one, i had my eye on the eight hundred pound job.

It will be positioned as their high end solution from the beginning, in the absence of any single GPU card. AMD has stated in their investor conferences that they will be looking exclusively at multi GPU configurations for the high end in the future. Nvidia, in contrast, has said that they see advantages in continuing with single chip cards and their GT200 is expected to be such a card.

I have no interest at all in multi GPU configurations for several reasons I've discussed here in the past, so I will be waiting on that GT200.

Next card I get will be ATI AMD, because I don't want them to go out of buisness and leave Nvidia with no competitor

Still ATi s'far as I'm concerned, same Canadian (and Japanese) engineers.

It may show its age, but it's still a decent system. Not depreciated that much--mainly the graphics card is half the price and the RAM is probably a good bit cheaper now. What motherboard do you have?

You people ****ing get on my nerves. Oh my god, your PC is sooooooo old. That is a brand new PC by my standards, quit your whining.

That had better be sarcasm. And if it isn't, it better not be directed at me.

[Mars]

It's pretty funny that I'm running around with DDR ram, a 3200+, and a 7600 GT...

and the people with 8800 GTX's are talking about their systems showing their age.

Don't suppose any of you want to unload your "old" stuff? Particularly MoBos and CPUs?

Yeah, really. If it's worth so little, you can just give it to me. And Mars, you still can't say that yours is that old.

That's a quote from The Simpsons an educational TV show. Just humour. I try to think that as long as it isn't steam powered, it'll do.
