It’s good to visit these top-end gaming PCs from time to time, just to reflect on what it must be like to have more money than brains. The Falcon Northwest Mach V’s claim to fame are dual 512MB Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultras in SLI—and each card goes for $1k a pop. That brings the entire rig into the eight large range, including the automotive-quality paint job and liquid cooled 4GHz processor. But is it worth it? Despite PC Mag’s 3.5 star rating, I can tell you right now, no. Not at all. Never, ever is. Doom 3, one of the only game engines out there that even has a mode for 512MB cards, didn’t even look appreciable better.
