I'm due for a computer upgrade.. haven't done one in almost 3 years.
I'm definately swinging over to the AMD side of things.. tossing around whether to get a Duron or an Athlon.
My budget is about $1500-2000 CANADIAN.
There's a sense of vanity by getting a CPU over 1Ghz,
but it may not be that practical. So what do guys
think? 1Ghz+ or not?
Mainly (being a programmer) I'll be running development
tools and such.. but I definately want to play lots of
games (I've got a vid card figured out).
