Guys, I'm asking for your suggestion: it make sense to update my current AMD rig (A64 3700+ San Diego s939 - 1MB L2 cache - running at 3.2 GHz, 290x11, mobo Abit KN8 Ultra, PNY 7900GS @ 575/1400MHz, 2x512MB Ballistix DDR500 @ 290MHz - 2.5-4-4-8-1T)?
I'm considering like everybody else to move on a E6300/E6400 rig, very expensive move, I will be better sell my whole stuff and build a new computer from scratch.
But I will do it, if the difference in performances (mostly for gaming) is remarkable. Otherwise I could be simply upgrade only my video card to a 8800GTS and be happy for one year or so - I hope.
How much faster in your opinion a C2D will be, compared to my (I believe still very respectable) A64 @ 3.2 GHz?
