Hello all.
I am thinking of upgrading in the next couple of months, but not sure what to change. My spec is:
E6600 @ 2.4
Gigabyte 965-P motherboard
4gb DDR2
4870 512mb
I think I'm going to wait until the i7 gets a bit cheaper before overhauling CPU/MOBO/RAM, but are there any CPUs/mobos I could cheaply use as a stopgap until then that would provide a real performance boost? Maybe shove a Q6600 in?
Also, my primary boot HDD is an IBM Deathstar.....would buying a 10,000RPM Western Digital give me a significant performance boost?
Thanks!
