hi all,happy new year.
I'm thinking of going c2d route soon, but read on the forums that prices are going to be dropped in a few months.
my question is, is it worth sticking with what I've got, or just upgrading say gfx and memory for now?
my present rig:
cpu: opty 170
gfx: 2x nvidia 6600gt sli
memory:1gb crucial ballistix 3200 ddr(4x 512mb)
m/board:asus a8n-sli deluxe
sound:audigy 2 platinum pro
case:antec p180
not o/clocked at the moment

Thought about just upping the memory and gfx for now,but memory prices seem a bit steep at the mo.
If I upgrade memory to 2gb but get faster than my present board supports(to put in a c2d setup later) will it run ok for now?
edit-forget that, c2d I would use ddr2 oops!!

I use pc for video editing,games, web and oh yea bit of work stuff(data)
thanks in advance for all replies.

My present setup is pretty much ok, but It is some times a bit slugish on games.I'd like it to be a little faster encoding video too(seems to take forever putting my camcorder stuff onto dvd,but maybe I'm a little impatient :p )
I've got about £800-£1000 spare cash to spend at the mo
 
wouldn't mind a 8800 but the prices are way ott.
would a single 7950 show much improvement over 2x6600 sli?
