AMD 3200+, Soyo Dragon Platinum Ultra, 1.5 GB Mushkin 2-2-2 RAM, 76GB W.D. Raptor SATA Hard Drive, Lian-Li 6077 case, Audigy 2zs Platinum Sound, Gainward 1200 Golden Sample video, Thermalright SLK-947U Heat sink with Panaflo fans. Currently, waiting VERY impatiently on an nVidia 6800 Ultra!

Oh! And a dual 2GHz G5.

good luck with that geforce 6800, i've read it's very good on certain games but for everything else it has problems -- though hopefully it's better than the reviews said.

I dunno man, check out Anand Tech's review. Pretty through and the only negative was a comment on the drivers being a bit "non-polished".

Yea but it's the unpublished stuff -- nvidia made a few of their previous cars to work SPECIFICALLY with the common benchmark programs -- 3dmark, quake 3, etc... and nvidial appologized about it because otherwise the car sucked.

Tell me how you like It, i'll be in the market for a new card in a few months anyways.

its kind of like when someone builds a VW with all this power, only to realize its an FWD piece of sh*t?

Oh! Your speaking of the driver optimizations that nVidia made on their drivers, (I believe). ATI has/is doing the same thing. ATI is backing, (driver optimization if not monetarily as well), Half-Life 2. And nVidia has always favored Quake, UT, and will be backing the new Doom. It's almost the same as the preferences of processors, AMD or Intel, it's all in what you prefer.

Personally, I have always loved UT and hence I prefer nVidia. But ATI has really left a few bad tastes in my mouth over their driver compatibility with graphic arts programs in the past.

Currently I have a 128mb nVidia 5900 ultra and love it! If the real tests come in showing a 2x frame rate boost with AA as shown in the preview tests, I will lay down the $$ to get it.

I only hope that someone decides to bring one of these beasties to the Mac platform!

I agree with everything you said, except the mac thing... I havent had much luck with mac, but then again I'm not a graphic design artist. I'm telling you, webprogramming on a mac does not fly
