About 2 months ago I built a computer.

AMD 64 4000+
2 gig kingston value cl2!!! does it get any better?
some power supply very nice I forget exactly
ati x1800 xt 512 oh so pretty
A9R MVP
Later I got the sound blaster X-Fi Extreme Music
some 250 gig hd again very nice but I forget exactly

my question is should I have gotten a dual core 4400+? at the time my desicion was no, because I dont have windows vista(duh) and games arent written for doal care. So it wouldn't help me out. Is that going to change in the next year or 2? I don't really want to get an proccesor upgrade. I don't want to wast a perfectly good 4000+. So in conclusion. Will I need (want) a new proccesor before I want a new graphics card sound card memory hd dvd etc?

in a word , no, unless you do any professional graphics rendering or other highly intensive taks you shouldnt need to upgrade anytime soon
