Hi
I'm still with P4 right now. Should I upgrade to a C2D, C2Q, P II or i5? Will the i5 be noticeably better than C2Q and P II?
Consideration and requirement for my new system are:
1. There's no problem for me to wait for another 6 or 7 months and so time isn't an issue. i.e. I can wait till the release of i5.
2. Future upgrade ability is not considered as I will build a whole new system once upgrade is required. i.e. It doesn't matter what socket type it is with.
3. A single GTX275 video card is not bottle necked by it. (p.s. It would be really appreciated if you can also tell me the worst CPU required to achieve it.)
4. It will be able to last for at least 4 years (as a Q6600) for normal user(average gaming, internet and movies)?
Please give me some suggestions based on the "Performance & Cost" rate, instead of just on the performance). Thanks in advance.
