GPUs went thru the roof recently, now MBs are going to do the same.
Even if the price drops like the H is predicting, it will still be above $200 when the smoke clears.
What really blows my mind are the kids who want to buy one, and put a 3000+ in it.

Why does that blow your mind? FX-55 speeds for $145. Now we can easily afford two ultras/GT's instead of throwing money away on the processor. I've always bought lowest end and clocked to highest ...feel like I'm getting ripped off otherwise. CPU price/performance starts scaling really bad after the first two speed grades.

$145 3000

$196 3200 = 33% more money for 11% more mhz

$295 3500 = 103% more money for 22% more mhz

$630 3800 = 330% more money for only 33% more Mhz


Well you see the pattern and all the speed increase is negated by overclocking.

PS I wish they made a 939 2600 1.4Ghz for $80 since the DFi reportedly clocks above 360HTT This paying more than $100 for a processor bites.

Who said you have to buy SLI? It amazes me how people think SLI is for everybody.(I agree)

Particularly since the extra cash could be properly invested and propagate like a bunny

Hmm they could have some problems. Look where they have the chipset fan and look where the two x16 slots are. They are going to collide with a big card aren't they? Unless of course the fan is smaller than it looks and fits under it.

Cant wait anyway though! Looks awesome!
