Ordered a new system for SH4...

Mr. Redbird · 01-31-08, 08:03 PM

Was tired of the jerky play in SH4 on my old system so I ordered this today:

QX6850 3.0GHz processor with 8mb L2 cache and 1333 FSB
4096 MB 800 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM
8800 Nvidia GTX
NVIDIA chipset SLI capable motherboard 1333FSB
1000 GB Hard drive (2-500GB drives in raid 0 config)
24 inch 1080p High Definition 3ms response time LCD monitor
Logitech Z-5300e 280 watt THX Certified Surround Speakers with Subwoofer
16X MFDVDRW/DVD-RAM+/- Double Layer
Hybrid Blu-Ray/HD DVD Player and Super Multi Format DVD-RW DL Drive
Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer PCI Sound Card
2 integrated Gigabit (1000) Ethernet Connections

I plan to add another 8800 GTX as soon as the prices drop a little.

I can't imagine how much better this is going to be from my current 6 year old P4.

Way better I will be upgrading soon aswell. The 9800GTX will be coming out in 2 weeks or so, It is 2x faster then the 8800 ultra , so you might want to wait???

I thought about waiting but there is always something coming out soon that is better or faster, I got a steal on this system. I'll add a cheap 8800 GTX after the 9800 comes out and prices drop on the 8800 and I should get "about" the same performance from 2 SLI'd 8800 GTX's.
