Hi I.m runnin a 2.8 Nothhwood @ 3.43Ghz on stock air

I am interested in buying an Intel e4300 on an Asrock M0bo and running it at FSB 1006, but am finding my Northwood OC to be just GREAT. at 3.45Ghz and 245FSB. Should I just just leave my situation as is and leave everything until DDR3 and PCIe 2.0? My AGP and DDR seem to be WNL. So why change a good thing?

Sounds like you've answered your own question...

Don't upgrade until you feel you need to upgrade. Personally, a Northwood at 3ghz+ would probably feel snappy enough for everyday computing. If you game, upgrading might be a tastier option, but it depends on a whole bunch of different things, like what games you play, what card you currently have, what monitor (read: resolution) you play on... etc etc.

before i built this rig i had a 2.4C @ 3.5GHz...1GB DDR400.


there was a big diff just in going to a Pentium D 930 @ 3.6GHz and 1GB DDR2533....so yeah...going to a core2 is gonna make a big diff..but i mostly ripping/encoding

my superpi time alone went from 42s to 33s........
