I have had problems with 2 ATI 5870's so I am going to head over to nvidia again. Please advise me with a comparable solution "nvidia style". Im looking to spend around 400 -425. Thanks

QUOTE (Bizzlenitch @ Nov 6 2009, 01:25 AM)  Yeah... as someone who builds their own machines I find it a tough pill to swallow, the prices Apple attaches to it's hardware. Granted, I'm a life-long Windows user with little time on a Mac, but I'd certainly never purchase one if solely because the economics are, well, silly. For the price of a top of the line Mac I could personally put together two top-tier Windows PCs. But hey, they sure look spiffy, I'll give 'em that. I don't think you could build 2. I got my mac no. 1 because that's my job. I maintain our Macintosh computer labs at SUNYIT. 2. It's far more powerful then any desktop PC you can build processor wise, and I do HIGHLY CPU intensive things. Thus the 8 cores made sense to me... Apple is for a target market, just like a Porsche or a Lamborghini, they will never capture everyone, and they certainly aren't always the best, but they have there place... -------------------- EVGA E758, Intel Core i7 Quad 2.66 @ 3.8Ghz, 12 Gb OCZ Platinum DDR3 RAM, 2 x 1Tb Hd, 30in Dell Screen /w BlueRay
