I have a K7T Turbo From MSI.
Since AMD cpus are getting so cheap now, I was thinking about upgrading my 800mhz Duron to a 1.33mhz TBird.
Now, my question is, will upgrading my cpu with my current motherboard justify a great increase in performance. Meaning, will my memory (256 megs CS2 from Crucial) become a bottleneck if I have such a fast cpu. I know my hard drive will be a bottleneck, but I'm not using hard drive intensive work, just memory and cpu intensive work. If the performance increase isn't that much, I may as well wait to buy a DDR solution.
Another question, will my motherboard support the new Palimino Core when it comes out if I decide to wait on it?
