Afternoon all,

I'm sitting here bored in work (no one should have to work on bank holidays!! grr), and thinking about spending some cash.
My PC is starting to lag a little when it comes to the latest games, so considering what to upgrade. Thinking there is no point getting a new graphics just yet since 1, I'll have to get a PCI express mb as well as the card, and 2, directX10 cards will be coming out in the near furture.

So that leaves me with a new CPU really. Would going from a 3500 newcastle to a 64 X2 Dual Core 3800 or 4200 be worth it?
