news 28 Posted July 24, 2008 Today PC Perspective has posted an big update to our Hardware Leaderboard. Our HWLB is a one-page solution to finding our recommendation for system builds at various price points. This month the Dream System gets GTX 280s, AMD's GPUs make a return the high-end and mid-range recommendations and the VelociRaptor pretty much takes over everything. URL: http://www.pcper.com/hwlb.php Quote: "What changes did we implement this time around? First, we bumped the Q9300 processor up to a Q9550 and changed from a 780i SLI motherboard to an ASUS Rampage Formula motherboard based on the Intel X48 chipset. Why did we move away from the NVIDIA chipset? The answer is in our GPU - we went with the Radeon HD 4870 512MB cards (a pair in CrossFire to be exact) bringing AMD back into the High End System Leaderboard for the first time in quite some time. We also updated to the VelociRaptor hard drive and Xonar D2X PCIe sound card." Thanks for a post! Ryan Shrout Owner - PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com Share this post Link to post
