Having seen the GeForce 8800 I can say that I will be waiting for the second round of DX10 cards.....2 PCI-E power connectors and a fan like a leaf-blower >.<

I have done a lot of reading over the weeks. Reading a lot of conflicting information. I'm holding off on building a new PC because I'm not sure if DX10 cards will be out Early 2007 or Late 2007! I am betting there are people on this list that have been in the biz with the info and able to get a better read on what might happen better than I can. I know I will need vista to use DX10. I dont want it. I am fine with XP. I know I will need it. WHY? I'm a private pilot that is not able to fly as much as I would like and spend a lot of spare time inside Microsofts Flight Simulator. FSX is out and will utilize DX10, and its killing a lot of so-called high end machines out there now. My P4 3.2, 1GB DDR Ram, ATI 9800XT 256MB rig surely will fall to its knees. I have saved enough to build NOW, but am trying with all my might to be PATIENT and wait. If its going to be a year before we see DX10 cards, maybe I'll just pull the trigger and build the best dual core PC I can muster with my hard saved funds. If its a few months out I'll wait. BUT NOT KNOWING IS A DIFFICULT PILL TO SWALLOW! Especially when you are ready NOW. What do you folks think?
