Hi all
Just a quick thread to get some of your opinions. My old AMD Athlon 2500+ (running at 3200+ speeds) with geforce 6800 GS (running at 6800 ultra speeds) is in desperate need of an upgrade. I have been squeezing more life out of it but I am thinking enough is enough.
Problem is I seem to be stuck in an endless loop waiting for the next technology, first it was motherboard I was waiting for the 780i chipset to surface but then it’s just a rehash of the 680i so the intel x38 series is supposedly the best bet…..
Then it was CPU but I don’t mind just going for the Q6600 for now as it’s very good for the money…
Finally the latest one, the GFX card, this is causing the most aggravation. The 8800 series is over a year old now and there are lots of rumours about the 9800 series hitting next month, the problem is there is nothing solid about this.
What do people think then to wait for the 9800GTS/GTX to hit, or just to go with the G92 refresh and get an 8800, 512 GT/GTS instead?
Cheers
