Got an early X-mas present from Mom, Dad and my Brother.

Nice big gift certificate for Newegg. Smile

Cool! Cool So how much of an upgrade are you going to splurge on? Even if the gift card is a few hundred, it'll probably get you to spend a few hundred more... Laughing

I'm gonna hold out as long as I can. My next upgrade has to be a good one, one that'll hold me over for a few years.

I'm going the AMD 4x4 route, with (2) GF 8800 series cards. The only thing I wanna upgrade in the next couple years will be the CPUs to quad core units of AMD's K8L series. The K8L's will have a new cache structure and instruction sets similar to the Conroe's. Basically they will have everything that the Conroe's have going for them, plus AMD's superior bus and interface designs.
