about building a new SLI pc... is it worth it or should I hold out for the
new range of GPU cards...
Any tips ideas... as it`s my credit card that will take the brunt

With all the new dual core CPUs otw Id wait for sure. AMD has its new
64bit/DC that look very impressive although still at a premium price.
Depending upon your mobo you may not even need to upg it. Intel has its D
series Dual cores coming also at a reasonable price.
Id wait.

My tip would be to send the old one to me ;)
Well I own a AMD athlon XP3200+ ( 2.19ghz I think is the true speed ), it
has 1gb of kingston ram and a nice GeForce FX5950... I built the system
about a year ago, and although it does play most of the latest sims... It
just seems that there not crazy fast.. and all suffer from a little slow
down, or glitch... now the system is very clean with little or no background
operations... yet I find games like GP4 and LFS slow to the visual eye......
I just thought I would start to price up stuff ready for my end of summer
bonus...

Also beware of dual core chips. I have been reading alot about them and they
are not as good at *** as you would expect. Better at doing more than 1
thing at a time, like burning cd's while downloading and surfing.
