It's funny to see you say how it owns with music video's.. but I guess when you have a 4mb card those things are a luxary...

So all this arguing for nothing?!? Come on man....Well, at least you got rid of that S3....

is 5600 better than a 9500 Pro?

just a note.. ive got a vantewc trueblue 480 and unless there is an option to switch the SATA plugs for molexs.. whoever buys a 6800 ultra is gonna have to drop some stuff... im usin 2 for HDs, 2 for opticals, plus lights and fans... i suppose if i werent so picky about hiding cables i could count how many there are.. its either 5 or 6... im pretty sure that the 550s are the same way

using myself as an example - alot of people are gonna for the ATI on this one cuz of the power requirements.

speaking of which, how much power do 2 12inch cold cathodes use? cuz unless i turn them on before booting, my computer restarts, and it kind of sucks.. i know its cuz the balast has to charge, cuz if theve been on and i go off then on its fine.

That's horrible, mine don't do that...When you getting that card? I'd kill myself if I were still using that MX 420...The 9500 Pro is MUCH better than the 5600, I mean, they don't even compare.

yea, that is a big picture
 

that is a big picture, that is why i like my computer...

hey my speakers!!!!!


very creative idea there!

bump to the idea of waiting for PCIe. That way you can have gig ethernet not clogging your bus, along with high bandwidth videocards and low latency sound. though with a new mobo, i would also go the 64 bit route, but whatever

does having gigabit ethernet built in really clog up your bus?
i thought intel chipsets avoided that?

im not sure

but i sure would like to see PCI-E mobos go onto shelves sooner since they are basically all ready

great...i just bought a PowMax PSU... :shake:
