look here: make your pic and see which one is the right for you http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=946&model2=882&chart=421

as you can see (in gaming), there's not much of a difference between the best dual core (E8500 = 52 fps in Supreme Comm) and the best extreme quad core (QX9770=63 fps in SC) so for a 11 fps gain you'll have to pay around 1000$ more...and this is for supreme commander which is an optimize game using multi-core....now look at normal games (eg:quake 4) and you'll notice a 6 fps difference........

it's your choice

you cant fit a sound card with 3 gpus in there. no way it can fitunrealplaya55

Damn that's what I feared....in this case, a case with 10 PCI slots is needed

here's a picture http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/48655/3way_SLI_680_8800Ultra.jpg

This case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133021 has 7 PCI slots, is it enough for 3-way SLI and a sound card??

By the way, which brand of monitors does have the best ones in terms of no ghosting effect.....I know its related to the response time but they're almost all around 5-8 ms....so which one???....I eared Dell's were good ....

thanks

What happens if I add this file to it?

Or try deleting your current gta_sa.set thats inside the user files folder and paste the savegame file again.

Ok, tomorrow i'm skiing cause 2 feet of fresh snow are dumping now where I live and i'm working during monday night...so tuesday i'll delete every files in my gta user files and install yours and try again.....by the way, which version are you using, mine is V.200

Hmm I made an identical save file here but I saved it in the 8th slot. Are you sure you put the save game file in right place? In My Documents folder, there is a folder called GTA San Andreas User Files. Try putting it there.
