“What a great, great move, the ability to have 3-way SLI, with Intel Bloomfield CPUs. The combination will break all the existing performance barriers and deliver a whole new user experience. The wait is over...”

“The pairing of the NVIDIA nForce® 200 SLI MCP with Intel’s new Bloomfield CPU and Tylersburg core logic chipset will deliver NVIDIA 3-way SLI technology for an unmatched PC gaming experience, providing up to a 2.8× performance boost over traditional single graphics card platforms. When playing the most cutting-edge games, including current titles such as Crysis and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, 3-way SLI technology lets gamers ratchet up the resolution to 2500 × 1600, while turning on all of the tasty eye candy, including high-dynamic range lighting, motion blur, and realistic environmental effects.

Wishful thinking! Same goes for me buying a new rig anytime real soon after my recent shopping spree. :|

I'm always "window shopping" for new computer parts no matter if I can only afford Ramen noodles at the moment. That's life as a tech junkie! 8) :wink:

Hey your Commodore might beat my rig... :( I'll take your Commodore tho too. I bet I could get a pretty penny from some antique collectors for it. Maybe enough to upgrade! LOL! :lol: :lol:

Same here. I have been spending so much money on computer parts. Just recently upgraded my video card to the Nvidia 9600 GT Superclocked at 657 mhz. With 512mb Of DDR2 Memory. 1800Mhz for speed on that. Getting a new power supply soon. And a new mic =) After that I'm going for a new pc fan. Possibly water cooling
