256 MB one has been out for a while, I'm guessing soon.

If you are desperate try Alienware. They offer systems with dual video cards.

Why would you want it? I think only Doom3 MIGHT have that size of textures at Ultra quality. All the other games are hardly using the 256MB that the top end cards of today are providing.

Why are people using SLI ALX systems, costing over 6,000 dollars? Its for their e-penis....

Dont get me wrong, once they come out I'll get 2.

Bah, buying a $6k ALX SLI system and announcing it to a computer enthusiast board is akin to loping your e-penis off at the base. Dunno about here, but it certainly is over at [H], OCforums and OCAU.
Being innovative, getting the most performance out of the least amount of $, getting into your computer and performing unique modifications is the cockpump your e-penis needs.

there are 2 reasons:

1. my cousin wants one........he is rich i swear...... everytime he buys a new comp, he usually spend 4000 dollars on his new desktop (non famous brand such as voodoo or falcon), so his next comp will be either ATI or nvidia 512 MB beast........

2. I don't have that much money for 512mb. But I also want a card that last for at least 2 years. So when 512 mb is out, other card should lower their price a bit but won't be much. Better than nothing.

Not knowing EQ2 would love 512MB of video memory may be dangerous to your e-penis as well.

Perhaps for dumb asses who know nothing about business, depreciation and tax breaks. NO ONE, not even Astu, has been able to counter that argument. Your assertion may hold water for those who don't have their own business, but your blanket statement requires my retort just the same. From now own qualify your anti-ALX statements with **Does not apply to DarthBeavis

What im trying to say is that buying Alienware systems all tricked out beforehand really dosnt require any skill other than getting the money to buy it in the first place. It just shows you have the money and you're willing to spend it.
IMO, being a computer enthusiast isnt all just about performance and having alot of money, it's also about originality and skill. Buying an Alienware might give u a whole heap of performance, but it wont give you the satisfaction of having built your own PC. Most of the parts in my PC have turned 2 years old now and im still not regretting what i bought, my PC is still my pride and joy, even though some of the new high end lappys can beat it pretty badly on benchmarks. I ceased to think about it purely in terms of performance (maybe yes when it was new) but more of a thing that i built up through alot of hard work and dedication.
If it were a prebuilt alienware, i wouldnt give a thought about selling it to the highest bidder and getting a new system, but i doubt i would sell this sytem, even when i get a new one.
Being an enthusiast isnt all about the hardware, it's about what you do with it.

I sort of agree with u but performance is like a really good looking girl with a really good body n say "would u like to go out with me?" while building a comp with ur hardwork and the parts u choose (where u have done lots of research to find good parts) is like having a gf that has really good inner beauty such as she can cook very good, always clean up ur bedroom for u, care about u, etc.

Either of them are just tempting..........
