 Getting Back With It Ok, I've been out of the computer market for some time now. And if you could, could you please recomend to me, the best mobo, processor and graphics card on sale at the moment (as I'm looking to upgrade soon as I get the cash)
Reason I say Mobo, is because I'm confused over something, the new Athlon 64bit is a 939 socket? and the old were A socket? are these the same? or different? or what?! lol, I need to catch up...
ooh, also, is there a prefered make of RAM?

C P U = AMD Athlon FX-53 = £750
G P U = ATI Radeon X800T = £350

Geforce, pff. You need an extra case just to fit a Geforce in.  hehe. Not to mention the recent power supply fun they added to the package.

ummm...two GeForceFX 6700s will kick the crap out of ANY ATI card. Hell, one will beat any ATI card. If you want the absolute best (and don't have qualms about spending more than $1000 on your gfx cards) that's the way to go.

ok...one last time....
an ATi 9800XT PE is about an even match for ONE Nvidia GeForceFX 6800 Ultra.
If you take TWO GeForceFX 6800 SLI and run them in tandem in the same machine you will kick the crap out of any ATI card in existence.

very true.
only trouble is it'll cost you about £800 for 2 6800's but i'd love to see the benchmarks on a system like that.
