the rig in my sig is growing long in the tooth.
but the more I research the more fustrated I get.
seems there are 2 options, 1 is these 2 new quadcore offerings. both ungodly expensive, and neither too great from what I see. both are just halfassed attempts at the native quad cores in 6 months.
the other option, a conroe duo rig. a solid PC, but it seems like its "old" knowing what unbelievable performance is in store for the native quadcore in 6 months. specially when vista comes out.
whats a gamer to do? I cant really string my current PC along, its AGP graphics and a socket A, 2 dead end chipsets.
am I expecting too much too soon from the native quad core? will it be substantially longer than 6 months before we see home use PCs? will the performance gain not be as massive as Im thinking it will?
