Well, about that post that suggested that I should wait for the next generation cards, when will they come out?

Probably be announced in July, availible in September (just a guess).

How do you tell if they're good or bad? This one seems fine so far.

Should I use the 580W Powmax for the 2nd computer and get another one for the 64 machine? Wanna recommend me one?

Also, is there a way to unlock the 6800 PCI-e version?

I came up with this:

I still need a fan for the XP-90 and a PSU. What videocard would you recommend for a PCI-e?

[BigfootsMonk]

ok can you recommend me one that would be more than enough for the A64 as well as room for expansion?

Will the current Powmax be enough for the second computer?

i wouldn't recomment a powmax for any computer. of the people i know that have used their PSU 75% have failed sometimes taking out other components with it.
