Default OT - Kiwi Computer System Upgrade (Was: OT - Video Card Questions)

A "God Gaming System" without SLI?

I don't get it.


Actually, the first iteration of my system had two video cards (which,
I presume, is what you mean by "SLI"?) -- but for the same money the
owner looked at the specs and decided to go with a better single video
card instead. Dunno why.

And at his cost, with a budget of $1500, not only should SLI be part of the
package, it seems to me that your other components aren't as high-end as
they could be either.


Everything is relative. I paid $3800 for a Compaq 386SX in 1989, so is
$1500 in 2006 money "expensive" for a computer that's 10,000 times more
powerful? He says this system will make FSX sing, and I'm gonna
believe him until I see otherwise.

I'll let you know next week sometime!
