total $850...now would this be faster...the pent. d has 2x2mb l2 cache etc...or would amd still be faster??!??! thx...and if i did amd option i would use the same 6800gs and it would be about $850 too...so which one?!??! thx

or should i just get the 7600gt...i just saw the 6800gs because it has the 256 bit and 512mb so it could run bf2 good and i dont want to spend money on a 7900gtx...or should i be going with ati??? thx

 

[badninja3]

or u could wait til july 23 for conroe to come out, since ur constantly postponing ur build. lol, im seeming to have the same problem, but because of money problems.

 

[Xiggy]

yeh i know what ur saying there...could u give me some info on conroe???...and how much will it be costing???...and is it just intels newer processors???..and will they be really fast???thx

 

[badninja3]

theyre supposed to be really fast. but i dont know much of anything about it. but i kno it has new architecture. and basically, it puts amd to shame. the start price is ~$180. i think. ownage knows more about this than me. maybe he can help


(look around the processor section of this forum)

 

[Xiggy]

ok thx man ....btw im going to get the 7600gt...thx to kage i know it is much faster then the 6800gs...thx kage!!!!!!

Hehe, glad to have helped

I've tried to do a review search, but can't seem to find one to show you the comparations. But the 7600GT would definietly be the better buy.

I wish I didn't get the 6800GS now. Its a great card and all, yet, my 9800PRO 128mb ran games fine that I played, and the 6800GS is already starting to trail in games, not being able to run at full settings, etc, and my 9800PRO faired well as well (though it was old).
I would have been much better for me to have waited, and I'd still have £150 on me... grrr, haha.

Oh well, its an okay card anyhow...
