I have a E6300 with a x1900xtx....I am planning to upgrade at the beginning or end of June. Would I get more bang for my buck and better performance from the 8xxxx Wolfdale processors or when the Quads come out ( i forgot the codename for them). I was reading some reviews and a person said that the Wolfdales are a 10% improvement clock over the 65nm Conroe. Or should I wait for the Quad 9xxx series. I've got the itch to build another system.

Try just getting a better video card first and see how that works for you.

you don't NEED vista, they work just fine in xp. the money spent on a new dual for a 0-10% improvement would be a waste. going quad might be a good idea, but just getting a new videocard would provide you with the most noticable improvement. |

Actually I'd be more worried about how much it would kill my bank account than a few trees. ---------------

I doubt they will. If they were going to, they would have launched their attack when G80/R600 was released. ---------------
