Is it worth it to upgrade ? 4550 ----> 4600 ?

[isekii]

do you think it's worth the upgrade ?

i already have a 2.4b PIV, would 2.4c make a notable difference ?

it seems as I can get like 400-500 bucks for my system locally so I can definitely use the upgraded video card and the 18.1 flat panel for a total under $1000

what do you think ?

No.

And 400-500 locally? With a 2.4GHz P4? You aren't looking too hard. I have a VERY modest system (XP1900, 80gb HD, 160gb HD, 256mb RAM, 4x DVD-RW, 32x CDRW, Ti4200) and despite being worth EXACTLY $1000 in parts - I can pull more than $3000 on the local market. But I'm emotionally attached and this thing isn't going anywhere

You're emotionally attached to a computer? One that could make you $2000? (Figure you can take that last $1000 and rebuy the rig ).

No.

I hate the 4600's smaller case.

Price out the parts on Newegg. If you can't get at least that much locally, your locals are either

A) Computer smart
or
B) Trying to "rip you off"

I have a plain vanilla GeForce 3 in my Athlon XP 1800+ box, and I certainly don't think it's worth the upgrade at this point (nor for another year or so). Unless I find a game that I'd really like to play that the GF3 chokes on...

If you don't want to sell yours, how about I send you mine with the exact same setup and we'll split the profit? I want my share upfront tho.
