didnt intel get 590 boards?

i dont think so. as it has been said before in this thread, the 590 chipset for AMD is equivalent to the 680i chipset for intel.
i say get the 9600, it consumes less power and will run less hot. i would be surprised therefore if it didnt overclock at least as high as the 9700 overclock.
i think i'll be picking me up a 9600.
on a last note...SLI is not useless. especially if you SLI the best video cards out (8800GT). hardcore, max setting gaming it is a boon. not to mention high resolution, which it will make all the difference in the world, boys.

well nvidia will be releasign ther new chip sets, this month i think the same day as crysis is released or osmething, there suposed to support quad sli, maybe itl be am2+ compliant aswell. but depending how good the r670 is i might get one, im a big nvidia fan but if there good, cheap like the 8800gt, id want to go the multiple gpu rout.

theres no way, IMO...and only IMO...that ATI will be able to release a card as good as the 8800GT. DUDE. this card SMOKES.
