Advice on new build?

DK it's common knowledge that you can produce better graphics then any home console on a PC. I have a xbox 360 on a 50in. Sony SXRD (a GREAT HDTV) and I will contest that a PC can produce better graphics on high end systems.

I will take a 360 over most mid range PC's though because the 360 will produce as good if not slightly better graphics at a far cheaper price.

The problem with things like the 360 (aka home consoles) is that after a few months the components inside the system, which when initially build were the leading technology, are now outdated and the PC once again becomes king of the gaming world. PC's will ALWAYS be the industry that leads gaming forward.

A clear example of all of this would be Oblivion. Best example out there.

You do realize most of those screenshot that they show on the gaming websites are in game screenshots. They maybe be pictures from the game, made using the game but the game is still, there is nor blurryness because they took it all out.

Not really you have a pretty nice setup. You should be very happy with it when you finally get it setup and running.

Here you go. This is the motherboard that will support SLI and is the only one that will also support Conroe as of right now. I found this off of the Nvidia website. If the mobo does not say "SE" at the end (for the asus model that is) then it is not for the conroe even if it is the right socket...or thats at least my take on it. So I am not sure if your mobo will support conroe. And i know it doesn't support SLI.

Is this mobo for sure the SE version?! Well i wont try it because dont wanna get tricked and second i dont sli so may stick with the asus p5w dh

And what about that ram question that i gave?

The SE version is still in transit to stores. It won't be in for about a week. That link I posted for you is most defenitly advertising the SE and I got it right from the Nvidia website. If it does not say SE at the end of the mobo name it is not this one. If you look at the picture for it you will notice there are quite a few difference that immediately stick out compared to the current non-SE version. It is the only Nvidia SLI board supporting conroe at the current time. There should be more starting to be listed within the next few weeks. I seriously would just wait instead of wasting your money on an older board when your going to be putting a brand new CPU in it. The motherboard IMO is more important then anything. I'm waiting on the DFI mobo.

Your gonna spend $260 bucks on a board that is still based on intels north bridge/south bridge chipset and limit yourself to only running crossfire when if you WAIT you will be able to get a board for the same amount of money if not less that will support SLI (Regular & Quad) and Crossfile. Seems pretty friggin stupid to me! But what do I know, I'm just a computer engineer right? :rolleyes:

I stand by what I said. Wait for the ASUS P5N32-SLI SE simply for the fact that for the same money you get a LOT more. The biggest difference being it is based off the nForce 590 chipset (first ones to have it) which will allow for SLI. If you can chill the hell out and wait longer get the DFI board that is coming out.

DOH!:rolleyes:
