Stick with the X38.

Get this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820220144

Anything over DDR2-800 is a waste.

And then, screw the Corsair and get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...OCZ%2b700W

Now, dump the GT and get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...b8800GTS%2bG92

And the G15 and G5. You just can't lose with Logitech.

No GFX Can Quad SLi yet. Unless you're talking about Quad CrossFiring 2x HD3870x2's...

Look, it could say SLi ready for all it cares, but it doesn't say what card it's SLi ready for. For all I care, they could've tested SLi on 2 6800s.

Don't Quad SLi. For you and your wallet's sake.

You can get a QX9650 and a 9800 Ultra for all I care, but in a few months, that's outta date already.

... After you get the hang of it, it's not really that amazing. Almost everyday something new comes out and technology takes another step.
