Dont talk out your ass please. Quad core will be useful as of the first Unreal Engine 3 game. AMD has been destroyed by the Core 2 (and Im an FX-60 user, so dont give me any Intel fanboy bullshit). Finally, thats a decent price for a prebuilt machine.

If people want to build their own machines, thats great (I do that actually), but many people dont.

As for consoles, if you're happy/satisfied with your console, good for you. I hate pathetic jealousy laden comments where some ass has to disparage someone elses choice of how they spend their money. A PC does a few more things than a console - like decode/encode audio/video, run apps, do video editing, etc. A high end "game PC" is a HIGH END PC. It isnt a reasonable comparison to a console. Not to mention that a QX6700 with an 8800GTX far outstrips the horsepower of an XB360 or PS3, sorry to tell ya.

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Nothing uses quad core. Quad core won't be useful for at least another year. AMD chips with a good motherboard still have more power than any intel chip. I'm really getting sick of these companies tainting the intelligence of PC builders by putting out these machines with wasted power and huge price tags. No respectable professional would ever use a system like this or build one.

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> But why buy this now, when games REALLY using the Core 2 Quad aren't out yet ? (like Alan Wake)

Please don't tell me it's for "the potential"...

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> That's a one hell-of-a-deal, as far as I'm concerned.

The video side of things comes up absolutely rosy - there's just no beating the 8800 GTX. I mean, good christ, you could always add a couple - yeah, more than one courtesy of that 680i motherboard - more GTX's if you (for some bizarre reason) felt underpowered.

Not only that, but the quadcore processor that runs it is the 'extreme' edition. Admittedly, that makes up a hefty $1000 of the price tag, but you can easily overclock it to your hearts content.

Well, within reason =D

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Thats actually not so bad. The quad core cpu costs 1/2 of what that computer costs

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Yes that really is not that bad price for a prebuilt computer, and HardOCP did give them a decent review. To bad they equipped it with a Tagan PSU.

But I also enjoy building my own computers, and partly I enjoy gameing with my computer due to I modified it for low noise.

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> The website shows the base model comes with a plain 1.86Ghz Core 2 Duo. Rest of the specs are the same. It's $1120.00 more for the 2.66Ghz Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Quad core. I'll keep checking because that is an excellent price and with a few downgrades will be perfect for my needs for many years to come. Just needs more RAM and less fancy HD and Video card.

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> if I spend 1,500 I will own the shit out of that.

mmmm...I don't think so.

the C2Q + the 8800gtx + the dual 150 Raptor, is well over 1500 already, i doubt u ll be having anything even close to beat that PC for under 1500.

I know you will probably tell me that u r going to get a core 2 dual e6600 then OC to something like 3.8, but so can the C2Q, except double the core.

and if u wanna see some multi core performance, just run 3d mark 06, it's already optimized for muiltcores so are alot other benchmark softwares.

just a reality check for some people.

btw at this moment. 8800gtx is still the TOP OF THE LINE VIDEO CARD. the first and the best DX10 vid card on the market, ATM.

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Thats actually a really really good deal for a pre-built machine.

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> I spent, one thousand on my build, and it will probably beat that...

mehh, no.

if I spend 1,500 I will own the shit out of that.

1GB RAM? that's fucking stupid? the updated 8-series card(8900GTX?) will have as much ram as that computer.

quadcore shmadcore, I'm on a dualcore, and so far, I haven't seen any reason to get more than 2..... servers, maybe, but for now, no...

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Building and tweaking your computer is part of the fun of PC gaming. New big buget PC games push the limits of graphical and other computing technology, not really gameplay. I don't understad why someone would buy a pre built highend PC just to play games. Consoles make more sense for just gaming.

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> If a Quad Gaming PC is anything like it's cousin the Quad Laser, Dell's XPS line better look out! Jumping... is useless... Here it comes... wait for it...

Donner, party of 4... er...3?

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Actually for what you're getting thats a pretty good price for a pre-built unit.

Cell9song

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Vigor has always been on the high price.
Plus that machine is using top of the line equipment...
Honestly it wont be out of date for a good while.

Altho I can get a machine almost as good as that at ibuypower for less. :p

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> "Memory seems a little low-end to me and the video card isn't top of the line, but what do you expect for a built computer under $2,800?"

Hence the rise of console gaming.

doubtful

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> why on earth would anyone pay $2,650 for a gaming computer that will be out of date 6 months down the road?

preposterous!

]]> <![CDATA[Vigor Releases Quad Gaming PC]]> Errr...the video card isn't THAT far from being top of the line.

:P
