yea and soon you will see some huge gains between pci 2.0 and the older ones thats why i recomend the OP to buy a pci 2.0 board if he wants to stay up to date with gpu/gaming
oh right so its for the future cards they make. so many damn things to think about. i am buying this system to futureproof so it would make sense.
what about 64-bit guys you lot users of it? how do you find it (drivers, old gamers ect) if you do?
as long has you get a pci 2.0 board along with a quad you should be set for 2-3years playing all games on high settings given the fact that you only upgrade the gpu once a year to keep up. it will be a long time till pci 3(let alone a complete new gpu interface ie agp to pci e phase) will come out as well as a quad core being a bottleneck of a game
yeah thats pretty much what my plans were with this new build.
Im seriously considering the asus p5e now. many opinions on that here? had a quick look in reviews and they were favourable except something about "Lowering of CPU Vcore and significant Vcore drop under high workload"
it does look crowded around the cpu with all those copper pipes i wonder if a scythe mine will fit?
