Then when quad core comes out that will cost a fortune then someone will say wait for 8 core then 12 core then 100000000000 cores.
There is always something better around the corner.Waiting is pointless IMO
Waiting pays off sometimes.
Going on your statement, all those wanting to upgrade a week before conroe's release would be better choosing an alternative then waiting a week for a conroe?......
People want the best for their money, which is why u have a lot of "spec me up" threads.
This changes every month, sometimes every week, and occasionally can change in a matter of days.
What personally gets me, is why people spend 1-2 days awaiting replies on a forum, when most of the time, the time spent on asking on the forum could be used to answer the question themselves with some help of google. However theres always something that is better from the horses mouth so to speak, but the problem with forums is a lot is based on gossip....... not all mind you, but maybe half....
------- back on topic -------
At the end of the day, if the X2 doesnt give you the performance you need, and you can sell the parts, or can afford the upgrade, then why not.....
Just don't upgrade for the hell of it, unless obviously you can afford to throw your money around.
In reality my s939 setup is outdated now, but i havnt chucked anything at it that makes it really struggle. I still had that upgrade bug though, and really considered Conroe, but to be honest, i think the only reason i'd be doing it is to boast and just know i have the best. So really its pointless.
Good solid reason or not..... if you want to upgrade then do it, you don't need justification from anyone else. Choose your priorities, and make your own decision, i know what i'd do, do you?
