Ok, so we have dual core CPU's out now. Gaming won't take much advantage out of them right now, but what about when the R600 (or whatever it is by then) comes out after the r520?
Right now I have a pretty good Athlon-M @ 2500Mhz, and a 6800 Ultra. I would have gotten a x800 XT PE at the time if it weren't impossible to find it. Anyways, i'm thinking i might skip the r520/G70 GPU's and wait for the next GPU from ATI or Nvidia. By then I hope a lot of the newer games will come out with Dual Core support from AMD, and Windows XP 64-bit will have hit a growth spurt in support.
What do you all think? Whats gonna happen in the NEXT-NEXT generation?
