Hi,
My current comp is way out of date (had it since 2001). It is very very slow now, so its time to build a new system.
I would like to buy a computer now, and would likely get the E6600 as a CPU. However, ppl and news sources say that Quadcore is the CPU to get and is gonna be the standard as soon as it becomes affordable.
Since Intel apparently announced a significat price reduction for their quadcore processors, is it wise to delay my purchase of the comp for another 2 months so I can get the Q6600 for half price?
Is it unwise to rush and get a system right now with E6600 which is affordable and is quite fast.
PS
I'm not a big gamer and not planning to play games such as Crysis. Although I do play games and would not want to upgrade my system in one year for example for a Quadcore processor+ a new motherboard.
Replies would be cool!
