What was your reaction when you first heard about it? Mine was somewhere along the lines of, "Oh, sweet mother of Moses!!11!!!1one!!uno!!11!"

My reaction was that only a moron with excess cash would waste his money on this, as your CPU will bottleneck long before you'll come anywhere close to utilizing the potential of the GPU's, thus most of that GPU capacity will never get used.

It's like hooking a garden hose up to the Hoover dam. It doesn't matter how much water is behind the damn, only so much can get through a hose.

You'd be better off getting a physics card.

I got a Dell XPS and it isn't even fully upgraded...in fact its like the bare minimum for an XPS and yet halo works just fine on it. I just wish this was an AMD and not a Pentium. but i ain't gonna complain seeing as how i can actually play the games i want to now
