For various reasons, I need to purchase a second computer relatively soon. I've got the itch to buy one immediately, but can wait for about another 60-90 days. I've basically got two questions:
1) Will I see a large speed difference between my current computer and the one I've currently selected to buy?
2) Is there anything coming up within 90 days (besides price drops) that should make me hold off for now?
CURRENT RIG (for games)
P3-866
128mb pc-133 sdram
10x DVD
15gb 7200rpm HD ATA-66
Via Apollo Pro 133a chipset
32mb Geforce2 GTS 32mb
NEW RIG (for games)
AMD Thunderbird 1200MHZ (200 Front Side Bus)
256MB 200MHZ DDR SDRAM - 2 DIMMS
20GB ATA-100 HARD DRIVE (7200RPM)
AMD 760 chipset
64MB DDR NVIDIA GEFORCE2 ULTRA AGP CARD
12x DVD
Thanks for any suggestions......
