    Plz recommend Proc/Mobo for Research purposes (need 24Gb RAM)

    Animation can use that much of ram too, especially compositing n vfx softwares when you render on them. I know studios in Bombay that house workstations for EACH artist consisting of 24 GB RAM...Reliance MediaWorks to name one :)

    40k Rig

    @DD Where's the x2 part? or is it taken for granted? Is this the dual channel thing? And abt the GPUs...if GDDR5 is so much faster than GDDR3, then why are GTX 260 and HD 5770 considered as competitors and priced around the same range..considering the former is GDDR3 and the latter, GDDR5...

    40k Rig

    Oh well, whats done is done. I'm just happy I got a heavy upgrade and can now work in peace (and game :bleh:). I see it as a continuous cycle, no matter what and when i buy, a few weeks later something newer will come out and my rig will be obsolete. Guess one can only look at the bright...

    Revamped Bond 2006!!

    I loved it 2! Craig lacks the sophistication that Brosnan brought to the intense scenes but he makes up for it with all the athleticism in the action scenes that Brosnan neva had and he's witty as hell. Daniel Craig ftw! :P P.S: My fav dialogue in the movie [Torture scene] - James Bond to Le...

    @Meg, Its not PCI-e. His 6600GT is only AGP 8x compatible and he needs a card which is AGP 2x/4x compatible as well. @Saiyan, yes he only wants to trade but if the other guy doesnt want a 6600GT then hes ready to pay cash and buy the card :)
