Hey guys, I know you've been here longer than me, but is there really a need to quote the whole post each time especially if it's the next post?

Anyway, yes the video card will be your bottleneck once you upgrade, but you will notice a huge difference in CPU-intensive video games. Once again another vote for the upgrade!

Sure! (sometimes you want to quote to make sure there's no confusion to whom you are responding to/want to direct your comment to) Even though it does make threads hard to read sometimes.

You need to quote an entire page's worth of quotes just to reply to 2 lines?

It's interesting that this is a big deal to some people. It has never even crossed my mind that it is the least but inconvienent or confusing.

I'm quoting this because BingBongWongFooey will probably get all upset about all this "quoting" going on.

In any case, to me, quoting is fine as long as you don't get carried away and it doesn't take away from the flow of the thread. Besides, one can always edit out quotes that don't pertain to their point which will help the flow better.

I don't quote long quotes myself - or ones that take up more than a page anyways - but i've seen threads that were horribly screwed up because people quote something huge with a "lol" at the end which isn't necessary.

Anyways, RSI the jump from 1.3 to a Barton 2500+ especially with the impending price cuts will be worth it IMO. Go for it.

Another vote for the 2500+. I have one and have it OC'd as well. I think given what you have it's a sensible move. You will love the increase in speed for applications and overall increased "snappiness" in your computer.

Thanks again for all the replies. I will go for it when the price drops.

Sorry didn't say it like this (which is what I meant), but don't insult my know how so quickly, it will only backfire;-)
