A little off topic, I just thought of a cool slogen for AMD "Thats fast! Thats Amazing! Thats AMD!"

But any way has NVidia even realesed the specs? I guess that was a little soon, but I love what I see! The GF4 looks like a clear winner, and hopefully will drive the prices on the GF3 down so mortals such as I can afford it!

I am with you Bob the Great that is exactly what I am hoping. I am looking to upgrade this summer probably around May or June and I hope the GeForce 3 Ti 500's are priced about what the Ti 200's are right now.

Here is what I am looking at right now: (Probably)

Abit KR7A Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 1700+
512 MB PC2100 DDR RAM
PNY GeForce 3 Ti 200 Video Card

I want to see what I can get all that for in May or June. I am thinking by then the XP 2000+ will be about the same price as the 1700+ is BONUS! I am just wondering where RAM prices will be. On the Motherboard end will they have a new chipset out by then that adds some new features I may be interested in? Who knows? Right now the extra memory bandwidth that the KT266A chipset provides AMD processors is what has me fired up about a new system. I wil just have to wait and see.

I wonder what ATI has up their sleeve... if anything!

Yea...I hope ATI has something planned to counter it...I would hate for prices to go too high if they don't.

This was bound to happen, as I just bought the GF3 Ti-500 last week.

Start looking for DDR to start running at 600Mhz....I just got mine up to 300.
