Hey everyone,
Im getting ready to build a system (intel/nvidia) and i was wondering if i should jump on an intel G0 stepping chip or wait for Intel's next baby... the 45nm Penryn. Ill probably get the DS3 mobo to go with it. I just want to get some thoughts what what you guys think i should do. I do expect to pay a premium if i take the 45nm route, but the G0 chips are cheap and so damn tempting. Plus ill be able to get my system sooner and be able to jump on some Crysis, TFC2 and UT this year. Man couple that with my 360 gaming and it looks like im not going to have too much free time . Anyway i just wanted to get some thoughts from all the forum heads here. My current specs are 3.2 northwood (yup)/1gb/asus p4c800/ati x1650. Im in need of a serious upgrade. With these specs though i might be able to pull off some TFC2 this October so if i wait for the Penryn ill have that game to tie me over. Anyway, thanks in advance. Peace
