I'm personally waiting for the model 28,000 BFG, which will take up 4 slots,
requiring a 440v external power source. I already got my order in to the
power company, They said the 3rd reactor should be ready by the time the card
arrives.

According to sources, the entire PC will have to be submerged into
a barrel of liquid nitrogen. It should compliment the new 280" LCD-Plasma
CRT (14,000 x 2,800 dpi) that I have on layaway at Walmart. (Supercenter, that is)

Once the 4" fiber-optic cable has been ran to the DOD Cray computer, I should
have enuf broadband to keep up with the servers.. :crazyeyes:

I was looking at those cards when I built mine but opted for the 7800 GTX version instead. I bought 2 of em and am running in SLI. My only weak link in the graphics is my 27" widescreen LCD TV that I'm using as a monitor. I have to run it at 1280x720 I believe since the monitor won't support anything past that. If I ever get a better monitor though I will be set up for it, heheh. With everything maxed out in game it just runs smooth without breaking a sweat. Was a pretty penny to do it but I figured replacement would take a while till it would need to be done.

Mine is awesome, I'm sure that one would do a bit better

Ya, I'm running AGP also, but I see no need to upgrade. XT850XT PE on AGP running all the HL mods at 50+ fps is fine by me.

i dun need one, dual X1800XTs, 2GB of RAM(soon to be 4GB) and AMD 4800+ X2, i think ill live without it for a year or two. xD i do know sum1 that has 2 of em though in SLI, he dropped $1300 on em at MicroCenter the otherday. its just not necessary, kinda like the core 2 extreme QX6700, 4 cores is pointsless i tell yas pointsless. xD

I agree and to think that someday they envision us playing our game with a window flip flopping back and forth between 2-3 IM programs, burning a dvd, and having a stock ticker goin on the top frame... Jeez.... stop with the multi cores... we only need one core when It comes to gaming! Just concentrate on making that one, BAD to the CORE! I Envision a processor so smart it will dedicate all its efforts to a single super core when neccessary (like gaming)... but expand to a 100+ core on a as needed basis! Intel... get on it!
