I have been saving up for a bit recently, and i see two different paths ahead. I can either purchase an X1800XT to replace my X800XT now, or wait until conroe launch (which by then i would have some more money) and blow it all on 2Gb DDR2, E6600 and a new mobo but then not be able to upgrade the Gfx for a while.
I realise that a conroe + 2Gb Ram will be a big step up from my current rig, but will it be more worthwhile to update the Gfx first? Would my Newcastle bottleneck the X1800XT?
This rig is mainly used for gaming, with a little video encoding.
Any Suggestions?
