i vouch for scan.co.uk i have spent over £1000 on PC parts with them, they are great :) BTW dont by IBM HDDs they suck. www.dabs.com are also pretty good.

Do any of these sites take monthly payments though? :p

I hate saving up, it takes me ages, If i have £100 I spend it, if i have £1000 i spend it, if i have £10,000 i'll spend it.....i just can't stop.

lol scan.co.uk does but you have to spend over £500 i think

I upgraded from a tnt2 ultra to the GF4 TI4600. I have noticed a nice improvement on my box (gaming box) Its a IBM x335 dual 2.4 GHZ Xeon with 4GB of ddr ram.

So, you are saying you ran a dual 2.5GHZ/4GB ram machine with an TNT2 ULTRA?

Somehow I think you set your upgrading priorities wrong :)

lol i have to agree

I know this may seem like a stupid question but is has to asked...

Exactly how many games use that second processor?

Or does the term "Gaming Box" cover all things server, CAD, and arms-race control master commander. All at once of course.

2 cpu's are only really usefull in gaming when you run a server, but you also need at least 1meg connection to make this worthwhile

some games actually are capable of using "multithreading" (2 procs) but the supply is uberly limited.

its usually something for geeks.

Some servers also use it. But then again, you'd need a very though line to actually make it worthwhile.

DB servers use it a lot. they need to perform lots of calculations etc :yes: for normal usage its not worth it as not all programs use the second processor. Dunno if windows 2 proc version performs load balancing automatically for all progs

anyways to get back on topic: Geforce FX here i come :)

"Geforce FX come to me!" I'd prefer hehe :p

i want one for my birthday :)

spoilt brat :p

who doesn't?!?!?!? :D

i didnt even get a descent pressie for xmass you know
i said save all yer money for my birthday in january and with my help we can all put it together and buy one at wholesale prices hehe so im saving still a lot

heh.. i got a dvd box set :p .. FX coming out in jan then?

i think at the end of january we can expect a version of creative in US

wonder how long it takes till its available here tho

It will probably be available here pretty quickly. Unlike software, hardware tends to come a lot quicker to europe aswell.

Thats my experience about it, at least :)
