Didn't you know? You have to use that to buy them stuff from Newegg for xmas! _________________ 5 home-built PCs, ASUS A6Jc Laptop, and a PowerEdge 2650 - all running Gentoo. Now if only I can get a car and plane to run it. Take a look at my Gallery! |

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... |

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. |
I hope its a big gift certificate _________________ ABAP? What did you call me? |
