yup, and by the time, we keep on waiting... a new tech comes along and makes the waiting time even more longer (dunno wat the heck we all are we waiting for)
coz, any current tech is NEW tech, and there is nothing like FUTURE PROOF tech, as new technologies are coming adn making the older ones obsolete within jus 6months... as the developments are jus so fast paced tat updgrading to these configs are jus outta question...
So, guys who all are waiting and waiting adn jus.....w..a..i..t.ii..n....g.. plz go and upgrade to a new config wich ever is good in ur BUDGET (yup, this factor is really imp)...

Cheers n e-peace...

Simple funda in the world of computing: Buy what you want today, don't plan about tomorrow; coz whatever you plan to buy tomorrow will be obsolete the next day and so on!
By the time the applications and games will be optimized for quad cores, the present quad core architecture would've become obsolete. So either buy what you want today or don't buy at all!

i prefer Quad core coming game like Alan wake they used 4 thread and UT-3 is using the third thread.i hate nehalem i saw many people wow i7 wat CPU intel launched and about features like Nehalem is designed to scale to up to 8 cores per chip, each one of those cores has the hardware necessary to execute two threads simultaneously - yep, it's the return of Hyper Threading. the people who purchasing Nehalem buy it then i tell him wat a gr8 CPU the intel made copier machine

No wonder nehalem gets 2x performance at same clocks or lesser than E8400 in gaming.

Isn't 8800GTX, a 2 year old card, able to play Far Cry 2 ?

^^^ Isn't 7900GTX a 3 (or even more) year old card able to play the same?
Take a look at these:
1) *www.guru3d.com/article/far-cry-2-pc-vga-graphics-performance-review/5
Isn't the 9800 gx2 a recently released card, but still at the bottom?
2) *benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=137&Itemid=72&limit=1&limitstart=8 Isn't 8800GTX a powerful but still struggles here?
3) *www.gamespot.com/features/6182806/p-5.html and hey! here even 7900GTX is running the same game!
There is a difference between being able to run a game and actually give the user the full experience.
Games with older engines will definitely run great on even 2 year old cards at low-medium resolutions and low-medium quality.
In the computing world saying that anything will "last" for more than 6 months is not worth believing. When I say "last" I mean that the hardware is able to survive the cutting edge software as on date.

Well, it's no use to spend too much on a rig is what all this tells us. cuz the more u spend, the more u lose.

And thats why I am still satisfied with my old Pentium 4 2.66GHz. Each time I long for an upgrade, I convince myself to wait for the next platform
Anyway, back to my statement, what ani said is true, but fact remains - quad core is still a more vfm investment in the long run compared to dual core.

Me with my P4 3GHz
1.5GB RAM
've got 6200TC, wanna change it to 8600GT and get a 450W PSU by nxt year
Either that, or a new rig.

Its better you dont buy anything and get a new rig later as your CPU will be a bottleneck and 8600GT wont be much of a help in graphical stuff as its a low end card now.

Lol, if I had that rig, I wouldn't upgrade till another year. The 8600GT upgrade is not required unless you want to game, and overcoming the urge to game hardcore would go a long way into making you the true master of your senses.
BTW, my rig is as follows:
My System Configuration:
Intel Pentium 4 "Prescott" 2.66GHz (no HT)
256MB DDR1 400MHz RAM
Intel D915GLVG Motherboard
Onboard Intel GMA 900 GPU
Onboard RealTek ALC 880 Audio
Seagate 80GB SATA HDD
Cool G5
Conversation Architect

Me too.
Happy with my P4 2.0 Ghz
