My question is, with the upcoming games coming out soon like doom3/half life 2 approaching soon, what is the ideal choice for upgrades
I currently have
p4 1.8A 400fsb (oc'd at 2.6)
sis648 msi mobo
with 768mb of ram pc2700
and an ati 9600 128mb pro
What is the ideal upgrade for the games coming out soon, and is it smart to hold off for releases in cpu's in the next few months
For me i only see upgrading my mobo/cpu/ram, but the thing is, with the new athlon64 out now and pentium 4 coming out with their ee additions, this cant be the current thing pentium 4 has to bite back at athlon 64, are there any new technologies intel has up their sleeves for this whole 64 bit deal, I dont really see a need to upgrade my current system for these games in the next few months if there is any new technology coming out soon, I want some others opinions and any info they have on this. Whats next? from my view I would hold off on upgrading to the new super pentium4 ee's or the athlon 64 and wait for intel to come out with something new, I remember reading somewhere intel's pentium 4 has the capability of being able to go up to 10ghz, but with athlon64 coming out with this new technology i dont think intel would keep pumping out these overclocked pentium 4's with pumped up fsb, so what do you guys think would be the ideal thing to do, settle for a new intel or give into buying an athlon64, right now i see p4 2.6 or 2.8 being the best bang for the buck unless you wanna dive into buying an athlon 64 and having to spend cash on ECC registered ram for it
My idea would be to sell the mobo/cpu/ram on a forum on here and just buy a new one, or just hold off all together to see what intel is gonna pull out of their sleeve
btw the ati 9600 was a great deal, I purchased it as being a 9600 SE from bestbuy for 130 bux(i had a geforce 4 ti4200 64mb before) they had certain serial numbers with pro's in the box. I plan to use it as a mediocre card for right now, and going full bore and buying a top quality one once these new games out, or do you think i should just settle with what i have now?
