Impressive!

So many haters.

Almost everyone here loves to beef up their PC. This guy has the baddest PC on the block so just give him his props.

I would love playing Crysis at those settings but 4 way SLI is just way too extreme for me.

lol SLI is too damn extreme for me.

I'm good with one card. I may do an x2 card at some point, but I'd never run more than one graphics card unless A: the total cost was at or below $200 or B: the second vidcard is being used for physics.

And heck, there's people out there still benching like crazy using 3dmark 2001 SE... watercooling socket A rigs, getting em to some crazy high clockspeeds, and using some cool vintage GPUs. ... fun stuff, IMO.

I mean, if I could, I'd love to peltier cool a socket A setup, maybe an Athlon MP board.. get the cpu(s) running @ 3ghz, and re-fit an early DDR2 vidcard (5800 Ultra?) with newer RAM, and manually mod the BIOS... ...THAT would be cool. ... and then slap a 3850 AGP in there and see how it runs Crysis.

I'm a bit curious as to how a 3Ghz Athlon XP would compare to a 3Ghz Core 2 Duo.

I imagine the core 2 would probably be 2 or 3 times as fast, but it'd still be interesting. Also, no 64bit means no 4Gb of memory.

I wonder what two Athlons in MP mode (in a modded MP mobo) could do... I know it's multicore in a different sense and there's a bus between the two cpu's, but still... two of those chips (512k Bartons) @ 2.8-3.2ghz, 4gb (3.25 addressable) of ECC memory and a 3850 AGP... that'd be interesting. ... it'd certainly run Crysis, especially if 2.8 socket 478's with HT enabled can when coupled with a ~HD3850. ...I like Frankenstein PC's, lol.
