They definately waited too long. I was going to build a monster AMD but went Intel due to price/performance gap.
I just built my newest gaming rig. Core 2 Duo 6600(A Zalman 9700 to cool it), Evga 680I SLI board, 2gb 800mhz DDR2(4-4-4-12) and an EVGA 8800GTX. I’ll buy a second one soon as I get enough junk sold on Ebay. Oh and it’s powered by a Thermaltake 850Watt PS.
Even before the 2nd 8800GTX, it scores 36800 3dmarks in 3dMark03.
It’s always fun when it says “There are 528 systems faster than yours and 3,480,899 slower”. It’s enough to bring a tear to the eye...sniff...hehe.
Boy you are up there...congrats....
