Hey all,

I currently have a P4 3.06 ghz, Radeon 9800 pro, 1 gig DDR system and was wandering if i should upgrade now or should i wait for more future proof hardware to be released? My system can play most games even though they arn't on high settings but will it last until the next gen of graphics and processor are released?
I know eventually Hi def will take over so a new graphics card will be required and processor speeds are being increased almost weekly.

Any opinions would be great!

Regards
Jamie
 
Thanks guys.
Yeah i suppose there will always be newer and better hardware, but does anyone know how far away DirectX10 and Hi def graphics cards are?
Sometimes it will jerk in BF2 but it can take up to 10 minutes to load a map!
Maybe a bit more memory and perhaps a switch to pci express will keep it going for a little while longer :)
 
Yeah its a socket 478.
Hmm christmas, quite a way away then.
I was thinking maybe getting a Intel Pentium 4 805 Dual Core as they seem pretty reasonable and overclock well from what ive read, with a PCI-express motherboard, a graphics card that will keep me going for the rest of the year maybe more and some 2 gig Dual channel.
Any recommendations?
Would the dual core give a noticeable difference from my current pentium 4?

Thanks for your help :)
