More Information

Any ideas what minimum power specs will be for the new 8600 and 8300 Nvidia cards will be? I'm putting components together now, and seeing if maybe my current Power Supply will be enough, or if that will need to be upgraded as well when I build my C2D DX10 machine. Interesting how a minimum C2D machine with a DX10 card 2 weeks ago was at least $1,000, and in a few short months could be around $500!! (Nvidia 650i Ultra board, C2D E4300 after Q2 price drops, new DX10 midrange cards (8600 series), hopeful memory price drops and the ability to use DDR2 667 with E4300, and possible recycling of PSU and IDE HD).

Thanks.
