8800GTS 320MB. It is also more expensive though
I was going to phone a company to enquire and wondered if I was to ask for "Gee-zero" or "go". I guess G0 is the correct term, but for some reason I wont to say "go"Originally Posted by zpos
Due to this confusion, I decided not to call
Maybe they they didnt chose B4 because it came AFTER B3!! I guess W8 would have been a better version

I agree.I guess W8 would have been a better version
Someone wake me up when its actually here
That one.
Lots of saddos here I suspectThanks for the update Carl.
I feel like I did when I was about eight years old and waiting for Christmas.
...Sad, I know.
When do you plan on upgrading from this purchase?Edit: Quick question while we wait. 512MB RX1950 XT or 8800 GTS 320MB?
The 1950 is a good dx9 card which is great value. The 8800 is a better dx9 card which isn't as good value & does dx10.
If you agree with the argument that there won't be dx10 exclusive games around for a year or two & by then they'll all be dx10.1 or above (which isn't backwards compatible), if you want dx10 you'll want to upgrade to a second gen or later dx10 card when they become available.
In that case it makes good sense to go with the better value 1950 for the short term.
OTOH if you think that's all rubbish, or you won't/can't upgrade to a second gen dx10 card in the next six to twelve months, or you simply have wodges of cash lying about, go for the 8800 you mention.
/Queue jumps the sleeping Grim ReaperI agree.

All's fair in love & system building.
I dream of G0...
We need a Yahoo widget to have a countdown to Scans launch. That'll be the epitomy of sadness but lots of publicity for scan!
Any coders around.. heh

That's the dilemma I suppose. Better value now and an earlier upgrade, or, pay more now and upgrade a bit later.....
Oh, the agony of choice.
ow.
ow.
OW!
not the balls please.
ow.
Do you think when Jesus comes back..... he ever wants to see another cross.......? *{God bless you Bill}

My Items for sale
12 days ... yes I know you can all count
Well, I found a place in the UK that stocks the G0 Stepping so I just went and ordered one. Should be with me tomorrow.
At least I ordered the Motherboard and fan from Scan. I might even order a new HD to go with it
I will let you know how well it clocks.
Re: Scan to split Intel Quad Q6600 GO Stepping CPU's !!!
When buying PC components buy what you can when you need it and if you can stick within your budget. I have held off buying the core computer components until the Go's are released.That's the dilemma I suppose. Better value now and an earlier upgrade, or, pay more now and upgrade a bit later.....
Oh, the agony of choice.
Ok .. I'll bite ...... where is this store EzyRyder.
/Queue jumps zposI dream of G0...
Maybe, but how sure are they the G0s will definitely turn up by then?We need a Yahoo widget to have a countdown to Scans launch. That'll be the epitomy of sadness but lots of publicity for scan!
/Picks pockets for good measureAny coders around.. heh

Hope you've learned your lesson now.
