478 -> 939 upgrade query

Booner! · 17 May 2006 at 17:15

a mate wants to buy all my AGP parts for his rig, would i be silly to sell on my:
P4 3.2ghz ht (478)
asus P4-P800 (478)
6800GT 256mb AGP

in exchange i will buy off overclockers something like this?
DFI lanparty nforce 4 Deluxe
Opty 144
XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX

would that constitute an upgrade? is that worth swapping to? especially giving that i will be selling this to him at start of july, so wont it be worth waiting till conroe? can i have a few opinions or views to assist me cause i am not sure what dates to keep in mind, idealy i will be building a new rig come Xmas but need a pc in the time being

yes i know its a move sideways, but i was wondering if its better for the long term? should i wait for the price drop between AM2 and conroe making 939 cheaper and then get building then? or sell up 478 now and buy into pci -e and dual core straight away? :confused:

cheers

hmmm , might wait then cause i am gonna spend a lot on my next pc cause i wanna play spore and the like

so want the best for my cash, might wait till conroe/am2 so 939 prices drop...

am i right in saying that i can still use vista with a 939 build if i have the correct GPU ?oh , and a shed load of ram lol

ah gotcha, sorry thought all optys in OcUK collection are dual core, obviously not, but yeh would upgrade to better cpu once i got the money, but a opty 146 for the time being be better than 3.2 P4 pressler (478)
