Don't mind me.......trying to do 3 things at once here

Is any one able to comment on the second one down on this list?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...00_Series.html

It's the dual core 6600GT, and it gets the following in 3DMark03:
http://www.giga-byte.com/VGA/FileLis...d1-table1a.gif

I'm going to go for that if it is better than the Asus V9999GT DDR3 that's above it

Yes ive mentioned the 3d1 a couple of times in this thread gone unnoticed lol lol A friend has built one with only a 3200 chip and it flies,Gigabyte however will be releasing dual core 6800 gt and ultras later on. He has had 1 problem though and its a strange one surrounding video playback but we have narrowed it down to a monitor problem

What are you going to do re 64 bit XP?

I wouldn't bother if you run an ATI card - I hear the 64bit drivers are pretty good on NVidia though.

Yep........nvidia all the way!

[KingPhoenix]

Im gonna go 64 bit for sure... no point using a 32 bit operating system when you can easily get a 64 bit version

Yup nvidia it is

2 x GeForce 6800 Ultras 256Mb PCI-E SLI

Never been a fan of ATI cards tbh

EDIT: How coincidental is that my link came out as Athlon64?
OK, I'll get my coat...

This sounds very similar to my migration from windows 98 looks like its back either caddying 2 hdd one with 64 one with 32,or dual booting,bet theres a few here remember how poor drivers were for xp for months after it went gold

[Ramrod]

Just received my ASUS DRW-1608P, installed it in the case and I'm good to go now.............
