I think the Best Engine ever was Unreal because nothing could touch it when it came out and 2 generations later the Unreal3 Engine still looks beautiful and plays smooth. Next to that Voxel would be my fav oldschool, because C&C looked damn good,  and Source as best new because its an evolving engine that next to CryEngine sets bench marks for others, and Source has pushed out so many great games in its still going life. My only big question would be if HL2 Ep3 will run off Source, a newer version as Ep2 did, or stay the same or will Valve deliver Source2 or something to show us how badass HL3 will look like on its relase date (whenever the game is set to come out.)

I remeber the summer days playing Quake Unreal Command & Conquer and using some of these GPU's. The Vodoo 3 was one of my first than I stuck with ATI up till Nvidia hit the market. Been using them since Geforce2. Then I rememeber taking my 7900GTX and running everything no problems for the longest time. Then threw it out, throwing in an 8800...DAMN!!! the 7 to 8 seires was epic. It's just amazing how far graphic limitation has pushed its self year after year. Although I have to say the market has slowed because I remeber specs for one game being Geforce2 and then a month later a Geforce5 or better. Still running my 8800 but will wait for ATI or Nvidia to battle it out with Geforce300 or Radeon HD5000 to hit market before i take this bad boy out.

As for the coment about CPUs yeah CPUs have cooled off since the start of DualCore. I mean GPUs push themselves to new heights while CPUs shrink add a few cores and run. GPUs are the most important investment to make in a computer.

Just as a random thing to put in I love how people run $3000+ rigs and complain about GPU and CPU heat. I'm running a 4 year old HP with an AMD 4400+ with one 8800 GTX(stock cooling with a nice overclock) in 1280x1028 and my rig stays pretty chilly compared to other specs (and I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas which is the next hottest place to Arizona) I play every game (except Crysis at max no AA around 20fps) at max with 16x AA and still run 30fps or better for every game I own .

How does it run on idle and load temputure wise? Also with the rebates, you can add a couple of fans to cooler it off cause the way the picture and hardware are I bet this rig runs hot!

I'm adding this to my rig ASAP. Its probly the most affordible hardware add-on you can get and it'll help for idle time and Game time.

Talk about spam this is the stupidest thing I have heard of. I mean are people this desperate to let someone else find followers and then have them spam the crap out of them. This would be ok if they could find you someone that can actully buy your products but then to spam them 3 times a day. No no this would be better if maybe once a week "hey we have a product out check it out" or "hey we just reviewed this brand new rig come check its specs and how badass it is." The other thing is making public and commercial pay the same this woud be better if $10 a month for public(if you really are this desprate for friends) and the $89 for commercial so they can get the word out.
