Can you get a discount if you scale back the memory and hard drive? With the price of ddr2 you could get 2x2GB for ~$80 and a 320GB hard drive for ~$200. You might as well go high end if your paying for an xps. 8400 Is lame though, WTF when are we going to see the 8800M?

1. New MB with integrated graphics (waiting for the R3870), 2GB of DDR2, and I'd finally be rid of my 3ghz P4. 2. Phenom Go Newegg!

You're better off buying this stuff on ebay. Alot of people are getting rid of their old memory as they upgrade to ddr2. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2GB-2-x-1GB-PC3200-2700-2100-DDR-RAM-MEMORY-184PIN_W0QQitemZ230187400972QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230187400972&_trksid=p3285.c51.m63.l1177 About...

Hmmm... I wonder what the 256mb version with go for when they make it to the market and prices level out. Probably not far from $100.

Thank you, But for the price pf the 1GB 2900PRO if you can find one you'd do well for the investment. There are higher end products if you want to spend more but I was giving my personal opinion on bang/buck.

2 X E5320; Pad Mod to 2.33GHz, 1333Mhz FSB (add $150) Dump the memory and hard drive on eBay (subtract $100) 2 X A-DATA 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 FB-DIMM (add $200) 500GB 7200.10 (add $120) SATA DVD Burner (add $30) 1GB Radeon HD 2900PRO (add $350) $1479 (It might be worth going up to 8Gigs of Ram)

Those benchmarks are slightly misleading. They're running a 320MB GTS at 1600x1200 so of course the speed of the connection is going to be important because it can't possible hold everything in memory. This system would rock with one of those 1GB 2900Pro cards.

What about the P35? I thought it also had crossfire support.

Tempting, I want to wait till the R670 comes out before I blow $300+ on a new video card. This might end up as my bad ass physics processor if that ever takes off.

that's debatable depending on what resolution you're running and how detailed the texture are and how well the Pro overclocks. There are also 1GB variants with GDDR4. The only thing I worry about is the amount of power it will be drawing overclocked. I'm going to need a stronger psu. Do you...

For anyone that know anything about overclocking intel is winning at all price points. I'm starting fresh and I don't have a lot of cash so I'm going cheap. E2140- $75, MSI P35 Neo2-FR- $105 HD 2900 PRO $250 (Probably less in 2 weeks) 2GB G.SKILL- $70 $500, overclocked it it would beat out...

E2140, $75 and can hit 2.7Ghz relatively easily, only 1mb l2 cash but it's still a c2d (albeit castrated). :(

Forgive me if I'm wrong but aren't all DLP TVs notorious for screen lag or has this problem been resolved with newer models?

This promo code you entered is only available for specific programs... wtf?

If this was online I'd be all over it.
