When do you gonna buy it? Think I'll wait for the AMD Dualcores (x2 4400+

) before I update my pc.

TheTeaPot · 05-17-2005, 11:40 PM

i am going to build it Q4 2005 or Q1 2006 when the PPU arrives. as far as the duals go......they realy dont pose any advantage for me, i dont realy multitask intense apps.

Holy teahat!, if I don't say so myself! How much is this gonna run you? :Oo:

TheTeaPot · 05-18-2005, 12:21 AM

$1800-1900, not much......well unless you dont live at home.

SprigganX · 05-18-2005, 02:30 AM

well... im gonna save up for a Leadtek 6600gt.

your PSU is gona blow up ;) i Reccomend the Antec 550 PSU its got great reviews... and id wait till the 512mb gaming cards come out... and i still think PCI SLI mode is a bit iffy at this time... needs more time to develope... maybe a few more years.. other than that its a A+ System :thumbup:

TheTeaPot · 05-18-2005, 06:42 AM

I wasn't to sure on that that wattage but I figure on paper it would spare about 50 watts. i think i'll go with a antec 600watt, better to be safe then sorry.

the only problem i realy see with dual SLi is the "game profiles"
you need for the game to take advantage of the technology.
other then that i think its solid. its alot better then alienwares dual
GFX card setup.
