Very fast and similar to my PC. Unless you're using some wacky anti-aliasing or a 30" monitor it ought to last quite a long time. The progress of technological advance sure has slowed in recent years.

It'll be good for a long time for sure, and if you grab an AM3 motherboard, which given what you've mentioned, you would be, it'll make upgrades very easily a few years down the road as well, since AMD plans to continue supporting that socket type with their next generation of CPUs starting in 2011.

because of the current quality of graphics... i think it's safe you'll run games for a while still...

just not in 3D with 5 screens infiniview (that is the way games will develop, as it's cheap for devs and it does take benefit of newer graphics cards).

All good.

You may be overspending though, it depends on what you're doing with the computer. What games will you play, and at what resolutions/settings? What else are you doing with it (encoding, office tasks, 3D rendering. etc.)

i'm not using a very high ress, just 1440x900, as i'm not a big fan of large screens

Infiniview is a feature on AMD cards to use multiple monitors... about six or something.

But yeah, really nifty PC, you must be proud of it!

It's called Eyefinity, not Infiniview.
