cant decide

hey guys ive been researching like crazy, but i still cant decide, im gonna go the socket 939 route, mostly for gaming, should i wait for pci express, will it make me that much more future proof? when will sli become available, and will it be crazy expensive?

How long can you wait before you buy?

 

[jp03hplayer]

depends what im waiting for, wouldnt want to wait more than 2 months

No PCex for AMD this year. Dont wait. SLI will be very expensive, unless you dont think 2 6800 graphics cards are a good deal.

SLI would be a GREAT deal if you could find a 50% off coupon and a 2 for 1 coupon!

If you're going Socket 939 forget SLI because it requires PCIe.

who says no pci-e this year? i think some ppl are taking one article from the INQ too far, as later they themselves went back on it. The nforce 4 will be released in october with baords to be coming soon after, perhaps late october, early november. Abit already has a pci-e board listed on thier website. now via and sis may also come late this year or early next, but it seems the nforce 4 wont be that late.
