Hello all.

After a couple of years at university spending very little time reading about / buying PC components, I am coming to the end of my degree. The prospect of having income from a job (hurrah!) is spurning me to revive my interest in upgrading my PC, and, let's face it, playing brand spanking new games at high end settings with no worry.

My interest waned just as the X1900xt and 6800GTX (SLi) were beginning to see their replacements, and when we were all getting super excited about Conroe. Anyway, the point of this post (hopefully the first of plenty) is to ask if anyone can give me a brief update on where things have gone since then, or point me towards some good articles? I know I could just go and read the last 2 years worth of TomsHardware articles, and likely will to some extent, but I have always preferred forum opinions / content to articles, which tend to be a bit nichey.

Thanks for any comments in advance.

All the best.

Cheers guys, especially reflux, that was exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Something to give me a bit of general context in which to read website reviews etc. Thanks very much.

Following up the netbook comments, I've seen these cropping up at university more and more, got any general opinions on them? They seem to be the laptop of choice for some of my nerdier friends (thoroughly including myself in this group, not meant in a derogatory way at all) who have good quality desktops at home.
