Hi Guys:
I currently have an Intel P4 2.8 (Socket 478 800MHZ) paired with a Nvidia FX5600. I'm contemplating upgrading my system to an AMD Dual Core system (probably the 4400+).
I have noticed that the AMD X2 4400+ is quite expensive at more than $500.00. Question is, should I just upgrade my video card to a Geforce 6800 or a 6600GT and stay with the AGP platform or should I just upgrade to the AMD system and change to a PCI-E system? I would probably get a NF4 w/SLI and use two cards, if I ever needed the extra horse power.
Also with Windows Vista, supposedly will have a 64bit version. Does it make more sense to upgrade when the software will actually be available.
Thanks,
Claude
