New Pc or Upgrade ?

Oh the spelling. Also "AMD" has never built a 3Ghz processer. Secondly a P4 630, and 1.5Ghz of RAM are going to run you $900, unless you plan to do quad SLi I doubt that a system like that will run $2k. Just take a look at what I recommended, and base your system off that. Combined those parts will put you in with the top systems on the board.

PD. Candle, a 3000+ will bottolneck a 6800 of any type. The 3200+ will bottolneck the 6800Ultra and any 7800.

yea ok, then explain why my friend gets killer FPS in everything including FS9 with his 7800GT on a 64 3200 939? You can't now can you. No offense but you think anything that costs uder 500 causes a bottleneck, and your incredibly stupid for thinking so

WOULD YOU FRIGGEN SHUT UP!!!!!! If the CPU talks slower than the GPU can listen then a bottolneck occures. You will see this if you run 3DMark. www.gpureview.com has about the scores you should get with the card optimised. If your getting less than that you have a bottolneck.

hmm well i saw his scores on that 7800gt. like 8340 somin and oced her got a little over 9000 3d marks. An intel CPU would bottle neck it, not an AMD. The cores on AMD arnt running so slow that they cant keep up. If this was the case why are so many users running 643200/3000 and 6800/7800 cards and report great speed and oc.
