    I am running a next generation ATI chipset. (hearing brakes lock up)

    This will be the hot board this summer.

    That is all the information I can give at this time.

    4GB is fine with Conroe

    With Conroe, it is possible to disable one core from bios and force all 4MB cache on one core. This will yield a higher overclock of a few hundred Mhz.

    One core is going to be faster than the other, can we expect the worse core to be disabled?

    Of course i've got single threaded benchmarks @ maximum speed in mind

    New Ati chipset faster and/or more overclockable than Intel? Would be interesting if true.

    I have decided nothing yet but I tend to favour the 900w Tagan psu

    Regards

    Would that be the R600 chipset?

    I was reading a bit about that chipset and somewhere it says that motherboards with this chipset can handle physics while a video card could do everything else. This in turn would eliminate the need for those extra physics cards.

    Do you know anything about that?

    Also read that ATI has already sent out Directx10 devkits to video game creators. ATI seems to have gotten really cozy with Microsoft :smileysex At the moment it looks like ATI is doing alot of things right. Haven't heard too much out of the nvidia camp except that my future intel based system I invest in will not have enough bandwidth to support SLI
