Actually, I'm thinking about an upgrade, too. But not at the range hurenBock wants, he-he.

i think they are compatible. to be sure call your local arlt or k&m retailer.

Dunno myself, is there any need of dual 9800GX2... Some say ya, other no. Can't decide neither.

better quad.

The power of 4 cores... Imagine that! But I doubt anyone can afford it, too expensive.

and, ofcourse, extremly rare.

what now HD 3850 or 70 ??? i heard that both cards can be overclocked really good

i also heard that the 3870 can be overclocked so far that its almost equal to a 8800 GT

Now what? I'll tell you what - decide YOURSELF! It's your deal not our's, read some tech tests, compares, etc. I really don't see a big deal here. It's just a VC, not 300K& car.

lol youre right......

well i think a 70 is a little bit more future reliable
though after a lot of research i think i will get a 3850 thats already overclocked right from the start i mean this one here :

http://www.amazon.de/GeCube-RADEON-3850 ... pc_title_8

now im thinking about getting the card above or this one here :

http://www.amazon.de/Sapphire-RADEON-38 ... B000YNUX28

like i said after A LOT of research i found some people who buyed that card ( 50 )

and overclocked it thats it similiar to a 3870
for a little bit less money.....

what gives me a headache is the fact that i dont know what PCIE port i have 1.0 or 2.0 cause idk what happens when i buy a 3870 put it in and it doesnt works cause of the PCIe slot

so i think when i get this card
http://www.amazon.de/GeCube-RADEON-3850 ... pc_title_8

im on the safe side as this card uses PCIe 1.0

check your BIOS about PCIe

console is good for some specific games (specifically designed for a gamepad), like fighting (Tekken series), some adventure games (Silent Hill), action (MGS). But you can't upgrade it when some new hardware appeares on the market and that means one day you''ll be in the stone age. It ain't acceptable for me. Plus, I hate these games.

But it's just mine opinion. I know many ppl playing only xbox games or ps2.

a console will never be the same like a PC

u can do alot more things with a pc even those new consoles with their HDDs, DVD, blu ray, functions etc...and and and......

a pc is always a good choice cause u can upgrade it
just changing the GPU or both CPU AND GPU can bring new maximum power.......

and those gamepad games are no argument just buy a good gamepad
and then ? wheres the diffrence ? aslong as you dont have ULTRA BIG SCREEN theres no diffrence

another point is MODS no chance with a console
and if you want to own a game original lol the price is just to expensive
here in germany you pay for a XBOX 360 or PSX 3 65 - 70 EURO
i mean i didnt bothered 10 years before when i payed 60 DM for a N64
module but thats the point these were modules and not CDR`S

i guess that are 90-100 dollar maybe more as the euro is very strong right now

pc games cost the half in most cases when you go to the right place
like saturn or media markt

CRYSIS i.e costs 29 euro here...... ok there are games like COD4 that cost 40- 45 and some other games that cost 50 euro
but these prices are rare also r the games

i often just wait until the games r a little bit older if you i want to own them as a original

i.e i buyed RESIDENT EVIL 4 and DARK MESSIAH MM both original UBISOFT EXCLUSIVE edition

payed 30 bucks for both

the devs must pay us money for the hassle they've made.
