IF IF IF Possible PCI express slot for a brand new graphic card 🙂 (i know this feature isn?t in 478 MOBO design ;( )

P4C800-E Deluxe has been running strong since I bought it a long time ago.

This is what I was going to suggest...

You could probably just sell off the 3.2 and start over with an AMD X2 for a minimal loss. The Northwoods have held their value VERY well.

yeah i want to do that but 1st i want to see Crossfire + ATI R520 but i am having a bad feeling that ATI has totally lost it. If the benchmarking done by hardwareanalysis.com is any accurate then ATI R520 was all a huge hype. But anyways If ATI R520 is total joke than i will get :
DFI NF4 Ultra SLI-DR
AMD X2 4400
2GB Geil 433Mhz cas1.5
2x 320GB western digital sata Raid 1
7800GT gigabyte x2 (i can get them at discount 400AUD = $306USD each $ 🙂 )
22" CTR Mitsubishi/Nec Diamond Pro 2070SB-BK (stuff LCD , Gaming is much better on CTR and this monitor owns in gaming . )

But this wouldn't happen untill jan 2006. But i will just keep my Awesome Northwood that runs at 3.8GHz when overclocked.
