I have a question about an upgrade when conroe is released
Current rig:
p4 530
sapphire x800 pro Pci-ex
2x1 GB DDR400 Corsair xms
abit ag8 mobo
Now I'm wondering if it would be better to get:
-Choice A
Conroe E6600 - $316
Abit ab9 pro - $119
2x1 GB ddr2 800 corsair xms - $158 (after $40 MIR) (LINK)
or
-Choice B
Conroe E6400 - $224
Abit ab9 pro - $119
2x1 GB same ram - $158 (after $40 MIR)
Evga 7900gt - $237 (after $25 MIR)(LINK)
I play WoW and some other games frequently, but I'm not sure if I would need a video card upgrade. I've heard that the extra 2 MB Cache and the higher clock speed on the 2 core 2 duo models doesn't make a whole lot of difference. I'll have about $750 to play around with on the 28th. Any ideas?
