Anyway, I think that macs are targeted at an audience not pointing at the types of people that buy Thier macs, which is why most people complain about the price. Macs and apple products are aimed at people who have the £££ and have the bollux to buy Thier stuff!

Bug I'm still going mac tho, and sorry for the bad language, had to get it off my chest!

errr i need to update my computer specs... as i've another Radeon 5870 in the post due tomorrow...

i think that in crossfire should be about tolerable </sarcasm>

Hahahahaha D2, when I saw on the Battlefield 3 thread that your setup was struggling with the highest settings, I did wonder if you were going to go for dual-graphics. Lo and behold...

yeah when i roll at 6048x1080 triple monitor, a crossfire setup was inevitable... I actually planned for it when i built my pc but my budget at the time didn't allow for the extra 5870.

I'll be going 4x SSD in RAID0 next.... then maybe watercooling and pushing my 1100T to 4.5ghz

Well if anybody in the thread a looking for custom built pc for cheap here are some specs:
Amd x2 555 BE (You can oc these to work as the same lvl as a x4 955)
MSI Radeon 6850 cyclone
Asus M5A78L-M LX AMD Socket AM3 mobo
650 watt powersupply of ur choice and any type of 4gb ram (Cheapest for lowest price range) This is should come to 400 quid ish without a case and dvd drive

you call £400 cheap?
you billionare you!

Well computer wise 400 quid is quite cheap. It's the price of a decent laptop

has anyone had any experience with PCIe SSD drives?

i'm eyeing up this:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120gb-ocz-revodrive-3-25nm-mlc-flash-x4-slot-pci-e-read-975mb-s-write-875mb-s-120k-iops

as opposed to buying 4 smaller ssds and putting them in raid0.

i can't have a 16x card as much as i'd like to, cos both those slots are taken by my two 5870's but i do have an 8x spare.

Sorry, I'm just so excited right now that even if i posted this message on a million forums, it'd not be enough, but one or two may cure the itch enough to go to bed, but....
