Looks like the Pros have pretty much done it all. Don't be too surprised if you can't burn DVDs though. See threads elsewhere on the forum. |

if it were me, and i was already at such a high plateau, id spring for the
9800gx2 1gb
and throw in a X-fi extreme sound card too
and maybe some overclocking too, unless you planned to do it yourself

He means don't expect DVD burning software to be bundled with the system.
