My Core 2 E6700 w/ GeForce 7950 GX2 is arriving on monday or tues, and I can't wait to OC it to 3.6 GHz on air with a Thermalright XP-120 and Sharkoon 120mm 
The machine ate up a lot of cash though 
Stumpus, I wouldn't put it past M$ to release an XBox361  |
Why on earth would you spend that kind of money on a DX9 card when DX10 is a few short months away?
If I'm going to spend a lot of money on something I usually do it when it won't become obsolete in one quarter. I know it will happen eventually, but still.
If the hype is to be believed about DX10, it will be a much more profound shift in technology than DX7 to DX8 was, or DX8 to DX9 was. There will have to be a special subsystem installed on winXP for the DX10 games to even execute, let alone perform and look thier best. Unified shaders is going to shake things up a bit. |
Not to be rude though Mig, but ever heard of eBay? 
I normally sell off my previous gear privately or on eBay if and when I'm able to upgrade to a newer model, regardless of it being an individual component or an entire system; so when a DX10 card comes out, I can safely buy it knowing that there is still a market for previous generation cards, which still pack a punch money-wise. |

I was acctualy at a shop that had the 42" Sony bravia screen - and the modell I mentioned, is the bigger bad brother of the series  Full 1080p High Definition display - the mother of all... bravias... hmm
My boss, which has a preference for projectors instead is trying to convert me to the lines, but a projector has no room in my room - so to speak - not to mention that all of the m- every single one has crappy constrast and gamma compared to a screen.
Got to mention that I have old 486DX2 standing in a storage comparment (as I don't have enough room for all my stuff unpacked) with the lovely Windows 3.11 installed  I got the original floppies to boot lying around here, somewhere... |

ya ok stumpus...lol
[to finish]
I bought a 7600 which is lower cost than yours and provided sufficient fps.
-I upgrade to AM2 because 939 is discontinued and a waste of money
-A8N while at it's time was decent, it's a mid-low range mobo.limited sata and only 1 PCI-E card.. not dual.
-DDR2-800 is nearly double the preformance of your overpriced DDR1(Ballistix, gimme a break, hello marketing for suckers). My DDR that cost less than yours performed at the same rates. Certainly not noticable.
-firewire and 8usb port, 8 sata drives(5 of which I am using)
I paid 37% more than the cost of your CPU and got a complete system that smokes my old A8NE, 3D Marks and Sisoft to prove it too. I'm never limited to just buying around town, I find the cheapest prices worldwide to buy my parts.
But lets wait for your, god of games, Crysis to come out. Cuz I look forward to hearing you gripe about your performance.
You'll be upgrading again, you're just too stupid to realize it. |

Oh here we GO again............................shit for brains (xxxx) has this UNCANNY ability to not only PREDICT that Crysis will run like crap ONLY on my machine? Or will it run brilliantly on other peoples machines that are lower spec? Or is it just a vendeta?? BUT he says it's my GOD of GAMES WOW!
The only thing i DO know is that there has been NO demo been released; xxxx is seriously disturbed and missing social interaction with his carers.
AND that my GOD of GAMES isn't Crysis -there, i've said it. Don't cry now xxxx...sorry but it's R:TW or soon to be M:TW2 -sadly they run excellently....how sad is that for you 
What about Operation Flashpoint 2 being my second GOD of GAMES?
Anyway, if you want you can buy me Crysis -since you soooo want me to have it eh? AND you can even come over to the UK to see how it plays? We can even invite the local TV news round to film your 'wondrous' moment and read out your 'predicted' speech? If not you can contact the local news now and tell them you have a 'story' before it happens -although they may transfer your call......if you see what i mean
Anyway, have fun talking to your self! |
