Hello!
So, as you might have figured out I don't know if I should wait for Nehalem or just buy a new system right now.
My current computer is a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (2.2Ghz), 2x512 DDR (200mhz), Radeon x850xt (256mb).
The biggest problems with this rig is that I can't run any new games, or play 1080 videos, works great for surfing the web though
So I would really benefit from a new setup, but I don't know if I can wait one more year for Nahelem to sink in.
If I should buy a new system today I'll proably would have taken a p45 board, E8500, 2x2 1066Mhz memory, 4870, and a WD 640 GB HD, and clock it to 3,8GHz+.
so, reason I need/want a new comp: playing 1080 videos, play any of todays games, and having an overall faster system.
Should I buy now or wait? give me your opinions.
Oh, and I'm very concerned about performance vs price, I don't like to pay 1000$ more for a 0.2 Ghz faster CPU, if you know what I mean
