1. Dont have that kind of money (two 6800 Ultras give me a break)

2. This will run anything on the market on high graphics settings with 30+ FPS, so whats the problem?

Nice chipset that 915P.   ;)  

So, did you get a Pentium 650 CPU with 2mb of L2 cache and 64bit support or did your bargain end with the chipset?

Also, that board now supports 600mhz DDR2 Ram modules natively. (probably with a bios update).   8)

Ram is cheaper than ever right now, shame about the CPU, can you change it? OR, just wait til Xmas like you said and get it cheaper.

The question should be, what do YOU think.  If you're happy with it then that's all you need.

It's very simular to my system and I'm quite happy.
What do computers and air conditioners have in common?Image
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.
