I'm really not sure if I want to splurge for the 24" LCD, anyone want to talk me into it?
Also, is it silly not to go quad core, or wait for the new quads? I play games and just ordinary desktop use. I don't burn a lot of DVDs, use photoshop, video edit etc.
Oh yeah, I plan on doing a step up to the next geForce 9 generation within the next 30 days as well : )
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks a lot.
