^Reminds me of the saying, "It is not good enough that I should succeed, but that others must fail!" Good attitude.

My quad core el cheapo pci-e system is looking good for the Thanksgiving holiday. Perfect time to upgrade. I'm glad I skipped duel core cpu's and pci-e last year. My system still plays any game made in the past year just fine at 1280x1024. Now if they would only make a game I wanna buy this year,then I'll switch over to quad core,new ram,motherboard,psu and a high end video card for less then a $1000.00 dollars.

Just curious what your planned el cheapo quad core system is going to consist of, and what you expect to build for under $1000... The reason I ask is because it's already damn near impossible to build a decent CD2 E4300 and a 8800GTS 320MB rig for less than $900. The least expensive quad core LGA 775 chip (Q6600) out now is still over $800 alone, how much do you really think they will drop by Nov...?

He is prolly banking on the Intel price cut on the Q6600 to $266, as described here: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6488 .
I am planning for the same deal. That's when I will finally migrate to multi-core/DDR/PCI-E/DX10/Vista/SATA. All in one shot!

Nice. I have not seen that. At $266/ea, the Q6600s will sell like crazy.
