[citation][nom]trying2[/nom]Yes, with a few more dollars, we can always get a better system. Sometimes though, the person has a "bottem line" dollar amount that they have to stick to. Also, this system was to give great performance w/o overcloaking. Don't get me wrong, if we can spend just a few extra dollars on a part KNOWN for giving a noticeable improvement after easily/reliably being overcloaked, then that should not go overlooked.[/citation]
-- OOPS, I might have quoted the wrong comment. Moving up $12 for improvement is a good investment. FYI though, by the time using an extra core is needed, the processors would have advanced into better territory. I have always bought with upgrade space, like SLI support. But every time my graphics needs updating (finally), the cost of an "old board" for SLI isn't worth it compared to spending a few more dollars and getting a faster board, with more Ram, and current DirX standards.
