Are you looking to upgrade for SOW?

I'll keep my Q9550 till the new Intel's 6 core cpu is released, but I'm going to change both my 4870 soon. I'm waiting to see what Nvidia will propose...
If it's no better than Ati, than I'll wait for the 5890 and take 2 of them

PS: also waiting a bit for a SSD drive, wich I think will help a lot

i was goin to build a dual core with bells for il-2 since the 3 ghz is feeling the age .. .

then wait for BOB SOW to come out and then build a pc for that as well.

I think my i7920@3,3Ghz would be more than enough for SOW....maybe my GTX275 will force me to lower a settings a bit...
dont expect SOW would need atomic PC...lolz...CPUs are strong these days....also Oleg is thinking about optimization as it is very important part of the project..
