Worth upgrading?

Hey all,

Is it worth upgrading in the next few months or is there anything big coming out soon that I should wait for?

My PC specs are in my sig. Was thinking of splitting and selling it for ~£250-300 and spending £1k on a new system.

Wait till Sandy Bridge, at least.

Is that Intels new CPU? When is it coming out?

January 5th is when the mainstream chips are being launched.

I'm in the same boat, I have the one up from your CPU (45nm die shrink 'Wolfdale')

Wait till sandy bridge and get a i7 "2600" which is rumoured to be relatively cheap, support 1600mhz Ram and have a 3.4Ghz clock Speed!

I think it's worth the wait.

Cheers lads.

Br4d, yeah that sounds good. Will be a nice upgrade from my E6750 if those specs are accurate.

no point to upgrade if you don't feel like you need it
