Those are some good benchmarks Stinky.... So we can conclude that the processor part of this should be an AMD64... But I've never heard of a shuttle with AMD64 and PCI-E.. that would be the best combo in my mind. But I don't believe PCI-E has that big of a performance jump compared to AGP.... Until I see some benchmarks I dont believe that PCI-E is significantly faster at all...

you know what I would do if I was you? wait. nForce 4 shuttle boards are due out soon, and combine that with a nice a-64 chip and you are set to go.

you know what, you're right.. get a64 and don't get pci-e.. that way you don't touch me in benchmarks..


and then once you've figured out that games right now and for the fairly distant future are 32 bit and the extra bits do NOTHING, you'll to my 32 bit badass almost two year old chip that slaps you silly.. not to mention that like vee said, a pci-e card can go with you but AGP is stuck with old mobos...
This isnt about you.. And frankly no one cares about your system... your so full of yourself jason and everyone on this forum knows it. Instead of helping them with your input you make dumb comments like that..

But back to the subject... 64-bit nforce4 PCI-E it is... The fragbox has it...
But Im still waitin until it hits shuttles.. It said they will release it in first Quarter (They = CEO of shuttle)

oh no, I was trying to help.. I really was, look back.. it was when you DECIDED AGAINST my suggestion that I jumped ship.. besides, you had already chosen...

just get a fragbox if it has BOTH of what you were looking for..

I don't have 2,000 to spend on a new system like that, it doesnt even come with a monitor speakers or anything, Like Stinky said I will wait until shuttle nforce4's come out, and they will come out in SLi configs as well. All of this was said by the CEO of Shuttle in an article...
