Are you really going to have the same CPU for 10 years? I understand not everyone can afford new parts, but yeah...at least once every 10 years, I'd think.

Also, 2.4GHZ to 3.4GHZ is a huge increase, you know? Nothing to scoff at, and well worth 3 years off the life span or so.

dude, im getting an i7 3.33ghz, thats $1,000. i think ill go ahead and keep it for 10 years rather than decrease the life span by almost half Tongue

edit: 2.4ghz? thats a cheapie if u ask me, so i guess were in agreement Big Grin

Anyway, you're building your new rig right?

yea, i got all my parts listed and priced in a notepad file. lets just say for the money, and for the speed im going to have, keeping the parts stock just makes sense Tongue
