Sounds like you have some money burning a hole in your pocket I would wait it out since you have a decent system , say no to impulse shopping
You are probably right about the impulse thing. I just think that four cores would be great for audio and folding...but I'll wait until the price drops.
I am about to pull the trigger on a Q6600 from Newegg...but I'm wondering if I should wait for the next price drops. Not really sure what to do. I've never spent this much for a processor, so that is my hesitation to be honest.
'Hahaha. I just see it funny that people have this need to upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, until they have no money left. I mean, look at my current setup now. A P4 3.2ghz. A freaking P4. That's like 2 generations behind, and I'm still happy with it.
I personally say to "wait". Save your money for something like a Penryn CPU when they come out, or maybe for a nice video card. Who knows. But don't waste your money.
Also, can someone explain the whole Folding deal? and why would a person just buy a pc and leave it 24/7 just for folding? hmmm
Yeah, I read the exact same article even before asking the question. But, are people really folding for the sake of saving other people's life, and contributing to scientific research OR just for bragging purposes and show that their PC is faster?
I don't keep machines er than about 2 years anyway to be honest. I just upgrade and then sell the old one or give it away to someone who needs it. I personally don't mind keeping my PC on 24/7 either.
I fold for two reasons.....the first one is that I think it is for a good cause. The second is that I like the competition and being part of the #1 team. I personally don't mind a little bump in my electricity bill, and I've never had a machine die early due to folding to be honest. I don't keep machines longer than about 2 years anyway to be honest. I just upgrade and then sell the old one or give it away to someone who needs it. I personally don't mind keeping my PC on 24/7 either.
