as you chappies and chappettes may well know i should be building an athlon 64 pc in the coming fortnight. ownage.
but what worries is me, is when are the pci-express athlon 64 boards meant to be out? i dont want to go spend a load of hard earned cash on a pc, for it to suddenly become outdated, or at least, less advanced...
is there a pci-express version of the nvidia 6800gt?
cheers
details of NF4 were released today with board appearing in the shops in a couple of weeks hopefully.
would it be worth waiting for an nforce4 board? am i correct in assuming it would still used a s939 athlon 64?
any news on a pci-e version of 6800gt (or equivalent?)
I think so.Quote:

From what i can find it appears that all major brands and models of gfx cards are now available in PCIe.
With AMD PCIe boards being out before xmas, i would imagine that jan/feb will be the time to buy. This way any niggles will be ironed out and prices will have dropped. Thats my plan anyway.
A good plan it is too. PC prices always drop after Christmas as far as I can tell (as do most things, but PCs especially;)).
Rich :¬)
I would say that waiting for nForce 4 is a good idea, since it has PCI Express. As you say, after Christmas is a decent time to buy and not exactly that long to wait.

It's a non-issue my friend. GO FOR IT!!! :rockon:
