Some Question Regarding Purchasing of New Rig

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hello All,

When is the good time to purchase a new rig? Because I think probably there are new stuff coming out to the market in the near future that is worth waiting.

Second, as I intend to use the computer mainly for gaming, which OS is better? W7 32-bit or 64-bit? How does the difference version affect gaming performance?

Thank you.

Hi Kozalaq,
Windows 7 64 bit BY A LONG SHOT.
32-bit operating systems are limited to under 4 gigs of ram, while 64 bit can take advantage of much more. Nowadays, the minimum is usually 4 gigs, with most people opting for 8GBs. If you can pick, definately go 64-bit.

thanks striker410 for the reply. i have read similar answer on google as well, as 64-bit enables the usage of >4gigs of ram. :) 

how about my 1st question? :D

Depends. If you want one now, get it now. If you can wait, wait for ivy bridge or LGA 2011 or Bulldozer. If it was me, I would wait as Bulldozer and Ivy bridge will probably blow the sandy bridge and Phenom II processors out of the water.

Hope it helps! :)
