now, it's not worth waiting IMO. By the time you want to upgrade again likely you'll want to upgrade the CPU and RAM. If you're fine gaming with what you have then wait, but if you need to upgrade now (for a game like Bioshock [wait til it arrives before...

all together to hold out for the Nehalem in 09? Now there is some sensible talk going on, if you still have aenough juice in s478 now, just hang on because the launch of nehalem is looking like mid 2008 now and its well worth the wait. :heink: That's...

to run RAID 1? I don't know if I'll really overclock, I'm not really into that but I'd like the option of doing it at some point. What about Linfield, is that worth waiting for or is Nehalem good enough? Are you doing your work professionally, or as...

will be any games in the neer future which would utilize the Nehalem fully anyways. However i will wait for the Nehalem to be launched or at least announced so the prices on all the other hardware will drop. which would mean that i have to wait at least 2 weeks....

early next year, and with an 8 socket motherboard you'd have 96 cores, whereas even with an intel nehalem 4P setup, you'd only have 24 cores and 48 threads. +1 to what cjl said about waiting for the Nehalem 4P systems. Oh, and BTW, it is not immediately...

be a waste of money because my cpu would just squelch its potential, but I heard that ati cards rely less on the cpu. The reason I am not getting a new build is because I am waiting for nehalem, and also just don't have the money for a new computer Thanks...

GPU cooler? Also, would I benefit from getting a 9650 CPU and o/c it? Thanks again for the great iinfo and awsome help in this!!! Ken i would not get the 9650...its not worth it. U r paying double price for an extra .5 multiplier...definitely not worth...

it on par with the 3870x2 at $299. That means I absolutely must get a new power supply next fall, plus a Crossfire board, so I can do CrossfireX. The horror! Does upgrading for DX10.1 never end? Regardless of what the 9600gt does, I'm looking forward to seeing...

AGP card and waiting a year until Nehalem is available to do a complete build. The 3.2 Northwood is a good chip (I used to have one) and since most games don't make use of multiple cores yet you might be better off waiting. There isnt a test to tell if...
