640gb should be enough for anybody...

Good for Dell for [finally] listening to the user community and building a product that should tweak some interest and dare I say, respect, at the enthusiast level.

Totally agree with your comment about marginal benefit. Without a doubt, this offering demonstrates well the law of diminishing marginal utility. However, this is the best video card in the world (for now) and I think we can agree anything with that status can be considered a luxury good. My point is simply that NVIDIA is not only clearly targeting the high end enthusiast market, but targeting the top 5-10% of THAT market--in other words, those individuals who want the best...no matter what...regardless of the price:performance ratio.

This is not meant to be offensive in any way to anyone, but those consumers that are in the market to buy components like e6400 and e6600 Core2Duos to overclock need not apply.

That being said...I'm not buying one! I'll take a pair of the GTXs though!

It's pretty simple...the same way there will always be people who deem a Ferrari to be useless waste of money, there will also exist an [albeit] small segment who has to have the best in the world regardless of the price:performance ratio.

No one in the market that is both interested in this kind of product (and can afford it) is going to say, "I could buy 3 consoles for what this costs!" Like the guy in the Ferrari dealership is not going to say, "I could buy a house for what this costs!" Its a luxury item--utility does not necessarily factor in.

@ TJM - that's rather ignorant...this represents exactly that--a step back; actually listening to user community feedback; innovation from lessons learned. Dell has definitely skinned their knees along the way but they are making headway. Expect big things from them with their next XPS release. Until then: http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/03/09/6554.aspx

@ lanejasper69 - learn to spell/punctuate/make sense.

@ Dell - keep it up.
