Quad and gtx, the ultra is a waste of money and there are plenty of benchmarks out there that show little performance increase compared to the GTX.

Quad core and GTX. It's a way better choice. Can't stress that enough.

Quad + GTX. No question about it.

Four processing cores will come in handy way more than the Ultra.

Quad all the way. I just bought one (Intel Q6600 2.4ghz energy efficient version) which is OCed to 3ghz. Can't wait to get going with it, but I'm only buying a 8800 GTS 620mb to accompany it.

Nice config, Glenn.

I'm waiting for the nvidia 9 series to build my quad machine.

Same here, got my GTS a couple weeks ago and I just ordered a quad, 4 gigs of ram, and a new mobo

Yes? Is there some confirmation about when it's coming?

 

[DevgruSeal]

Not yet. :| It's rumored to be out Q4 2007.

Either way, I'm still waiting until about Christmas. The x38 chipset should be out by then as well.
