I have one that I believe better that all the one's previously posted (and I do not consider it badass, hell, I haven't even upgraded in a while)....my backup system is better that most posted.

So what do you gots?!?

Other than the arrogant asshole attitude......

No I do not.:| As I stated earlier, I do not believe my system to be an earth shaker. Except for the video card, I haven't even opened my case since x-mas.

I have an OK system compared to a lot of people in FS/FT. How the hell does that turn me into having an arrogant asshole attitude?

Well, you said that your backup system was better than most of those posted.

Your main rig isn't any better than most of those posted.

The 256 mb 9800 was very difficult to find when it was released, just like the 5800 and 5900. The performance difference is very small and IMO is not worth the extra $150 or so. 2 monitors are also a pain in the butt, I've tried with my Samsung 191T and an NEC 1830 LCD I had on my second rig. Doesn't work well at all.

I only got the 128MB 9800, the 256 reviews said there was little performance difference but a high price difference... my second monitor is a 19" samsung 955df.
