[Tech.Masti]

but i have the lowest, Celeron 850 Mhz,

How long do u think should be the time to upgrade a PC? Mine is 4 years old & still working fine.

 

[RCuber]

[RCuber]

Guys please come on topic

[Pathik]

^^ yea man.. seriously..
BTW nice to know that i m not the only one here who feels that his config sucks..

 

[Third Eye]

Me still on cr@ppy Prescott Single Core 3 GHz.

 

[Tech_Wiz]

Right time for upgrade depends on what type of work you do on PC.

Email + Office Applications = Once in 3 years will do too.

Photoshop and video Edit stuff = Once in 1.5 Years odd [HDD and RAM being main things]

Gamers = Once in 6 months if you want to run "THE LATEST" Stuff @ Max.

Casual Gaming and Usual stuff = Once in 2 years

I updated my PC Twice in 5 years

Celeron 600 D 64 MB RAM --> Sempron 2500+ 1.4 Ghz 512 MB DDR

--> AMD64 X2 4400+ @2.3Ghz with 1 GB DDR II

 

[nvidia]

AMD is sleeping..
Ive got an AMD 6000+ procy which is just 2 months old and now it seems like its 100years old compared to those procys..
