| Notes: What would a
high-end rig be without Intel's Core i7 processor? This months
high-end PC has switched to socket LGA1366, so it's now got 3GB of triple
channel DDR3 memory as well. Users of 64-bit operating systems might want
to spring for a 6GB kit, which is roughly double the price. Price
cuts to nvidia GTX 260 videocards and increased availability of
solid-state drives in retail stores has also made for some additions that
will give this system some real staying power.
