I think this will have to last me , a fair number of years , so thought that if i get a good motherboard, then i could add to it each few months, ie 2nd crossfire card, quad cpu as prices fall , more memory etc etc.

just have limit funds for the next 3 months, and have been puting it off awaiting the release of the 4800 ati range for some time.

Thanks for your comments
