Uh actually for sometime now, Gateways FX line that can be bought
and most Bestbuys The two lower end models, both contain an 8800GT.
One has Q6600, other has Q9300, but whats even more interesting than that, is Dell, Gateway, and HP, all having desktops with 6gigs of memory. Its not about the fact that memory is dirt cheap, its just the
fact that they have it in these sytems.
Bestbuy has a Dell I believe it is the 110B that has a Q6600 six gigs of memory and either a 500GB, or 640GB hard drive for $949.
Also HP now mainly uses ASUS motherboards, so expect there new Elites the M series of there desktops that now come with 6gigs in future versions to maybe even have overclocker friendly bioses.
And Gateway (ACER) Is all over AMD right now, after ACER bought Gateway last year I started seeing those AMD processor, AMD (ATI) chipset motherboards coming out. Then I blieve Gateway was the first Big Box
Brand to start offering Hybrid Motherboards back in April of this year.
Hybrid Crossfire motherboards are pretty cool on performance.
So even if its not a true gaming machine for most hard core people
A Machine that has a Q9300 Six Gigs of Memory, EVGA 8800GT OC and 640Gigs of hard drive for $1149 is pretty impressive no matter
how much you try to downnplay it. Its getting harder and harder
to build systems from scratch. Might as well go buy a machine,
upgrade the power supply for $100 and by the graphics card of choice.
Because you will have tons of hard drive space, and memory.
And the cases on the gateway are actually pretty huge, all most
as big as the Dell Xps cases.
