And the fact that they put two optical BD burners on the extreme one (one on each page) makes me think that this article was slapped together instead of fully investigated. Where's the benchmarks? The proof that you built a good machine?
Looks like a buncha kids opened up newegg and built themselves machines in their head...
Why the hell would you want to benchmark one of those beauties? It's like a wife. Your supposed to spend money on it, care for it and look but not touch.

On the Extreme 4 GB of Video RAM? Seriously?
Someone please Correct me if I'm wrong but if you're mapping 4GB of video RAM you'll not be able to run a 32 bit OS. Given that this is a gaming PC, wouldn't this be a deal breaker? I mean even the uber gamers occassionally like to run older games right?
The kernel should deal with that. If you request some memory address, paging assigns a virtual address for the physical memory so that you can access -any- 4 Gb of data in some order.
You can still only access 4 Gb at one specific time per process, but that should be enough for most purposes, no?

See, we live in an analog world which has essentially infinite FPS.
The Planck time allows for only around 1.86x10^43 fps, which is nowhere even close to infinity.

There's a serious lack of sarcasm tags, and it's required when it's not immediately obvious.

Seriously, I'm honestly curious. I'm a huge PC gamer and I run Vista 64-bit.
No offence, but maybe a Wii Fit would be a good investment, then? I'm just sayin...

And you can see the difference between 100 fps and 100000 fps in a display that uses a 60Hz refresh signal by counting the tearing lines you get per frame.
Ofc, you disable vertical sync to get to the 100000fps.
At some point it is better to invest in shorter display cables to get a feedback loop that is smaller. You should also invest in the smallest display you can pay so you can view it completely while being as close to it as your nose allows. That way you will reduce the space light needs to travel and your feedback loop is shorter. That will surely will give you that extra CS-or-whatever kill.

Wrong. Mine, which is specced to run Duke Nukem Forever, runs your game at that resolution just fine.

What say we all universally switch to a 300fps system for now. It divides by 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, and 100, so it would convert most of the old signals smoothly. And I bet OLED technology would allow it.
At a push maybe even 600fps, so that 24fps would divide also.
