Your better off waiting a few more months. The First gen batch is bound to have problems & a steep price.

What are you talking about? Why do I need it explained to me? Please elaborate? Last I checked I was one of the first people that said this pig had issues. Explain where I said otherwise.

I love how all these idiots purchased the 8800 series already, spend all these money and STILL no improvement to the FSX. It's actually comical if you ask me. LOL

Look at the new 8800 in the last SIMO event in MADRID (Spain).

But i'm gonna wait like 3 months yet because probably in 3 months we're going to have more variety so in the market when you have variety of the products the're more demand of this type of products and more competition so the prices are gonna be low. So till Jannuary i can wait with my ATI 9800pro

Waiting until 2007 is a good idea, variety + lower prices after the holidays are two major factors for waiting.

These cards aren't going to help very much with performance since FSX is still cpu bound. You should save your money for the next generation of processors instead.

They're out, Intel just released a Tech News article
stating the first Quad core processor has been released
to manufacturing

with the desktop family to follow Jan/Feb 2007.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 14, 2006 – Intel Corporation today kicked off the computer industry’s multi-core PC era by delivering four computing “brains” inside a single microprocessor with the introduction of the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5300 and Intel Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor families. These products deliver immense speed and responsiveness for general purpose servers and workstations and for digital media creation, high-end gaming and other market segments that crave absolute performance.

Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700

The world’s best desktop processor for multimedia applications, the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700 is up to 80 percent faster** than the company’s current Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor X6800.

This is the world’s first quad-core desktop processor available for unmatched, highly threaded performance. Ideal for today's games with incredible performance for tomorrow’s highly threaded games; the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700 is available at 2.66GHz with a 1066MHz FSB. The processor runs on Intel’s existing 975X Express chipset family.

The company plans to offer a mainstream quad-core processor starting in the first quarter next year under the Intel Core 2 Quad processor brand name. The processor will be an ideal choice for processor-intensive, highly threaded programs such as entertainment, gaming and multimedia activities.
