Just out of intrest, who else here has an actuall gaming pc, i.e top graphics card, sound card, proccessor etc.

 I dont even have top of the line at the moment.

I'm running

AMD X2 4600+

8400GS

2GB DDR2-800

80GB HDD 7800 RPM

160GB HDD 7800.11 RPM

 

 

Future PC:

Intel Nehalem 4-core processor

Nvidia GTX 280x2or3 or AMD HD 48720x2*2

4GB+ DDR3-2000

32GB+ SSD (whatever the 3.5" drive is or else I'll get a 2.5" tray) or a 15k RPM Raptor

 

Fixed it for ya!

 

Hell no I refuse to touch AMD graphics cards

And its 9800GTX 280 thats being released with the rumored 9900 series.

Also I though the Nehalem was supposed to be 2-core, 4-core, and 8-core with hyper threading finally re-enabed!?

 

Edit: you might be right... the 8 core wont be out till end of next year and is for servers

 

Ok ill rewrite it.

Intel Core3 Quad - 2.66-3ghz

Nvidia xxx Chipset (What if this is unavailable for Core3 or sucks?)

4gb+ DDR32000 memory

Nvidia GPU with estimated 240SP, 512bit memory interface on 1gb of ram.*2-3

Some awfully large monitor.

Windows Vista 64bit

2-3GFLOP of shader power.

My upgrade will look like this:

Intel Core 3 quad -2.5ghz (They have different pin configs for high/med end chips)

8 GB DDR2 1066

2* Whatever, but favour AMD

Vista 64bit OF COURSE!

Due date - Next year.. its my 3 year upgrade.
