First of all i have no idea what you mean by 8570... no card by that number exists, secondly running crossfire requires 2 video cards... so how is that cheaper? 8800GTX pwns all right now...

You're like Dr. Nick from the Simpsons. But of course, with computers instead of lives; even though for most of us our computers are our lives.

FYI GTX and ULTRAS prices DO NOT justify the performance increase. 4 gig is normal for gaming, and no you dont need it for basic Vista use, 2 gig will work. 4+ is good for vista gaming. 9 series is out, but they arent great now, a bit better than the 8600. But then again the 7950s are better than the 8600s. 8800GT is still the best bang for the buck. E8400 is the best for the buck too. Quad and duals have similar performance on games, get about .02 FPS more with quad for some reason.

Sharp324 wrote: E8400 is the best for the buck too. And that's what I'm currently trying to build. The two problems I'm having are that I keep reading that the motherboards don't support them without a BIOS update and the damn things just aren't in stock. I've been researching motherboards for a month. I don't exactly want to pay $250 for a mobo, but some of the best options look like they're in that range. I was hoping to go closer to 170-190, but in the end I just want to get the damn thing and to hell with the money. So can someone provide some motherboard advice for an E8400? I've mostly been considering Gigabyte, EVGA or ASUS. I have a love/hate relationship with ASUS =-) Thx
