Hi,
Usual sort of question please, I have a an AMD Winchester 3500 with two 6800GT graphics cards in SLI mode. I've realised that this is now a bit ancient and want to upgrade. I was thinking of going back to the dark side and going for one of the new Intel Conroe Core2 Duo CPU's but this will mean a complete re-build and re-format etc.
So, as a stop gap I'm seriously tempted by one of the top end AMD 64x2 CPUs that OC are now doing and maybe a new 7950 GX2 graphics card. I have a 19" monitor but 1280 is my max res.
Worth doing, will I see a significant benefit in gaming (flight sims and FPS) or shall I wait until next year for DX10 and Quad Core etc...???
Thanks,
