Well, my computer is just my "run of the mill" computer until PS3 release and even then it will still be my "run of the mill" daily use computer. Once PS3 release I'll be on Console...

currently benchmark at 4385 for FFXIV...would be higher in xFire Hyper Flood on OC with single card, overheats
Currently Windows 7 rates me as a 7.3/7.9 on performance...good enough for me
FFXIV runs absolutely flawless, no skip, jitter or lag anywhere I go...just like a console...like a movie
This actually opens a far more reaching topic...all this PC power for flawless play when a simple PS3 for $399 will do exactly the same thing in months to come. Something to think about really, play on PS3 on a 55" HDTV on the couch or play on a $3000 PC? Weird huh that the Cell is still better than what PC can do?
Comparing computers is pretty much mute...its a Console designed game...once PS3 release PC users will have to have massive power to keep up...its NOT a PC game and never will be
