Also got my hands on the GeForce GTX 260 - video games look so awesome!

I've only used it for about 2 hours though because there's just one problem; I left my battlefield 2142 key at a different base. LOL So I'm still using my old computer because i HAVE to play battlefield 2142. What I did do with my new computer was pretty sweet though - It tears through rendering.

I loaded a project I did a few months back that I know took a long time to render with my old machine - rendered it on the new one and it was so fast. Ate it up and asked for seconds. lol Im pretty happy.

You have a geforce 260 and you are happy with your bf2142 results?

BF2142 is like one of the crappiest games out atm :P (graphic wise!!)

Try running Crysis, and then go

haha You're only saying try Crysis because it needs that much cores and that gpu to work

[boebi]

Uhm...No

If you're a gamer you should NOT get a quad core pc since games run better on dual core.
(you are wroong)

And yes, Crysis is THE best graphics advanced game, ofcourse I say Crysis and not bloddy pong :P

[paragon]

I'm only fooling around, boebi. But I didn't know Dual I better for gaming.

Games don't use full advantage of quad core yet

well yeah some of them do, microsoft flight simulator X does and the new Crysis game will. Pretty much all the new releases will utilize a quad core at the highest graphical setting (especially in FS X where you can have hundreds of plug-ins and add-ons that will really push your system)

[boebi]

Yup tue, FSX is the only game. Crysis Warhead will be the next. I can't wait to get my hands on it :P

wow I'm behind the times on hardware.
The install screen of crysis would probably crash my computer.
