Off topic, but don't go too far overboard - after all, we are watching...heh.

Wait till the Fall.

Intel has slated the release of 1066mhz FSB CPUs in Q3. This means as usual a huge price drop for the rest of their line.

Forget Intel...Period.
Oh, nevermind, if money is not an issue and you want to have just a few percent better benchmarks in some tests, go right ahead!

no kidding. performance between them is so similiar, I really could care less which one I'm using.

Nvidia and ATI are a different story, however.

Not to hijack this thread or anything but......


I had a thread goin awhile ago and we talked about a card I ordered from newegg. It was a Nvidia but many ECGNers told me to go with the ATI RADEON 9800 Pro so I RMAed the card already so I wouldnt waste money. I have heard better things performancewise about ATI products however.
