8600 When

[Brock123]

I'm ordering a new comp in a week (selling this one this monday). I can't decide if I want to hold out for a 8600 and use my laptop for a few or if I want to just get a 7600gt to hold me over then buy the 8600.
My main question is how long. I keep finding mid Q2 but what are the dates of nvidia's Q2 because we are half way through the goverments Q2. Probly a stuipied question but I would really like at least the month.

Thanks

I was told NVIDIA has no new products to exhibit, thus there is no reason to have a booth at CeBIT. I then asked, what's up with GeForce 8600 and the reply was, "you can assume it will launch after CeBIT." Looking at some unofficial info, it's a pretty safe bet to watch for it in the April timeframe, and that kind of confirms it.

Thanks for the quick replies. Gonna throw my new rig up in general to see if anyone has any better recomendations for the parts I picked out.

I am dissapointed as well, this sucks.

I wish someone would leak some benchmarks, if they did I'd go buy a 7900GS over it.
