I'm currently running a Q6600, with a 8800 GTS Card and 4gigs of Ram.
It's a 2 year old system
I have a $2000 bugdet to either upgrade or buy new.
Would you trade up to the Q9650 and stick with the LGA 775 board,
throw on XP 64bit, up the ram to 16gigs, 2 x GTX 295,
another 24" monitor + solid state drive, same case.
Or would you buy new
I7 940, only 8 gigs of Ram, 1 GTX 295, 500gig 10000rpm harddrive
new case, new operating system.
Both will cost me around $2000
Also, and kind of unrelated. Will the SkullTrail board take 2 Q9650's?
Or will only accept the Extreme editions?
Thanks
