You've got to have that 150 buck+ nForce4 SLI mobo, and a PAIR, yes that's right, pair, of 6800 Ultra video cards, and a couple of Hitachi 10K300gig drives...all coming soon to a hardware store near you...

Let's see...900 for CPU, 200 for mobo, 650 apiece for the video cards, probably 500 apiece for the hard drives............cha-CHING!

On a serious note, the nForce4 offers Raid on the fly (no more data loss while creating a raid, & it can even be done in Windows) very impressive.
On the ATi side off things, the RS480 boards will be coming out soon. Even though it's IGP, I had a chance to pound on it with a few rounds of FarCry at the AMD Tech Tour in Atlanta. It was able to produce some very playable frame rates, though I won't be giving up my 9800 Pro just yet, still very cool for an all-in-one solution.
For the big boys ATi is also soon to release the RX480, I don't expect it to put a hurt on the nForce4 chipset right away, but I can't wait to see how they do taking there first real swing into the Northbrige chipset arena.
Cool stuff 8)

the new mobo looks so good. If I hadn't just got my stuff, I will definitely wait for them
