You would likely see a small performance increase in some apps and games, don't expect anything spectacular, until you get a DX10 video card.

I would wait for the the April price cuts for the C2D's at least, then buy a DX10 video card when you need one.

that is pretty close of what i was going to buy.

so i didn´t make a bad choice.

if i play at lower resolutions that 1920x1200, my rig will be enouth at the moment.
