Are you using this for "XTREME" gaming? If not, you could always switch to an AMD mobo/processor. Sure, it's not as powerful as the Core 2, but are you going to notice unless you're doing video encoding? (If you are, stick with the Core 2). I know if you buy an X2 3800, it won't bottleneck the video card.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Supposedly, all of nvidia 8xxx card line has problems with DX10, but rocks DX9. That's what I've heard. So far, it seems most games are doing DX9 with some added benefits when you ask for DX10, so the less than stellar DX10 performance can be overlooked for now.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

We'd hope so. For 2007, nVIDIA won't be releasing the 9000 series, so they better get those drivers right. The only new cards they'll be releasing are mobile versions and 8900.
If you're considering two 8600's, don't. Some benchmarks are showing that two 8000 series cards aren't giving decent performance increases for the money involved. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
