Would it really be worth it, in a few months, after Christmas, I'd be thinking of upgrading?

Along with Vista and another 2GB of RAM.

Personally, I wouldn't, but money is a big factor for me. If money doesn't bother you, upgrades are always nice. =/

You would see a bit diff, but then again here would probably be newer cards better than the existing ones by that time

I was looking at the 8800GTS 640MB, but like you've said, they may be new cards out in Feb next year, I guess I'd have to see...

Yeah, DX10 is a bit reason! Especially when I get Vista too! Yeah, of course :p

I'd get an Intel Quad Shane, to be honest, I wouldn't wait around to be dissapointed...

well you could be right mate...we just dont know.

for all we know AMDs quad could kill intels but obviusly theyre going to cost alot.

sorry to hijack your thread danny ive gone off topic here.
should have discussed this in a pm:D

damn those Ultras are big lol...i wonder what the power consumption from just those two would be lol

cost a furtune to run with uk electricity bill prices.

I'm going to OC, pretty soon, don't worry! :p

Shane, I wouldn't wait around for AMD, I'd go for the Intel Quad Core, the price is excellent right now! :D

If you got the money to burn, i might would do it. In a couple months ill have me a 8800GTS 640mb :D then maybe in january i can SLI them suckers :D

From benchmarks the 8800 seems to be a nice improvement from a 7950gt

I don't have it, but I can save up :p Nice, That's the one I want, the 640mb one.

I don't benchmark, so that doesn't matter to me, I do like the look of DX10 though ;)

That's true!
If I got one, I'd need a new PSU, preferably modular and not too expensive :p I don't think my Antec Earthwatts 380watt could cut it :p

but a $50 ultra psu would :D

$400 vid card + $50 PSU = a buttload of paranoia and could result in problems I would go at least until I could find something like this and if you get something like this, that's durable and reliable, it doesn't become crap too quickly... I have noticed that with my older PSU's and when I bought this HX520W. My older ones I modded until I got tired of them and I finally trashed them.
