I love games but I cannot decide if I want the xbox 360 or stay with my computer.
Current system: 3200+ 939, a8n-sli, 2x512 xms 2.5, 7800GT, 2x160 SATA RAID 0, Audigy 2
I cannot determine if I want to have the 360 to play on or upgrade my computer even further. Now seems like an awkward time to upgrade my memory and processor however...because the dual cores are nice and all, but I'm not sure if it's worth paying for it today only to rather be replaced by something else when it's purpose can fully be used (All games today don't really benefit from the duals). I am not sure exactly what parts to upgrade if I don't get the xbox 360...but I think a model of the Creative X-Fi sound card, 2x1GB 2-2.5 memory, 2x10,000 RPM Sata 0, and possibly a better processor.
Should I upgrade to a more top of the line single core processor, dual core processor, or not even touch my cpu unless I want to upgrade it to like a 3500+ 939 1MB?
**another question**, will dual cores automatically process tasks like playing a demanding game, playing music, and while running AIM and a couple other low demanding things? Does windows even really know how to distribute the power of the second core correctly? thanks. -doug
