Hello,
Hope you can take the time to help with me with a few decisions / questions - first off thanks for reading my mail.
I am looking to buy a new personal machine and need to get the best system -- period. I don't want to build my own and don't need to; I've narrowed my decision down to an Alienware system but don't know when to buy.
Right now they have a FX-53 system with a Radeon X800 XT Plat Pro card available. This is a nice machine but I'm afraid if I buy it, it will be eclipsed really soon by a system with the FX-55 or better processor and or the introduction of PCI-Express cards & motherboards.
If I want the best of the best systems, should I go for the system I describe above (NOW) or wait for a better processor and or PCI version of the same video card? Do you have any idea how long my wait will be...weeks, months, more than 6 months, more than 12 months?
Alienware is also making ALX systems which will be dual processor dual PCI-E video card systems, but there is no real info on when those will be available either.
I don't want buyers remorse if I buy something and then a month or so later something much better comes along. I also don't want to wait for more than few months, 6 at the most.
any help is appreciated.
Chris
