How long is this stupidity going to continue?

My computer has a Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz, and a GeForce 8800GT. I can play every PC game I've encountered at an excellent Framerate. I can even play the Crysis demo with all the goodies turned on at my full monitor resolution of 1680x1050. Oh, and my video card only takes up one slot, and I have only one of them.

If I were to buy a PC today, I might get a GTX and a Core 2 Duo, but that's it. SLi has never been a good idea for the consumer in terms of money or performance. It's just a trick NVidia uses to sell multiple video cards to morons. Am I wrong, or is there some new game out there that won't run without three f'n video cards that sound like a jet engine.

I need one

Logitech's new M555b

am I made of win?

save me big money!

Hey, I bought System Builder's Edition of Vista Ultimate 32-bit. What do I get? Do I really have to pay full price to get Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit? Apple is offering OS upgrades for $29. It's totally a shot at MS. They better make Windows 7 cheap, or they'll come out of this worse than they came out of Vista itself.

As long as the droboshare is an extra add-on, I will never buy a drobo. If the ethernet was built-in at no extra cost, I would buy it in a second. Until then, the Acer EasyStore is looking about a zillion times better. It has four drive bays, ethernet, and it comes with Windows Home Server for the same price of $400.

I'm excited about it, but my iPhone has a year left on it. I'll probably decide which direction to go in around June/July 2010. If the Pre is still around, and it lives up to the expectations, it's a very strong contender.

yes please

sure
