Having some difficulty here, should i Get an e6600 with a gigabyte 965-DS3(look at current rig in sig) or should I get a compaq laptop(new) with a sempron 3300+@2.0ghz I could drop a turion in it later, 512 ram,80gb hdd, 15 inch screen, ati 200m, and internal wireless? Im having trouble with it because, my computer does everything I do just fine, It play CSS and edits some video. http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4880360?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
 
For the next year or so, the simple answer to that question will always be "yes".
 
I would not buy a laptop , you pay twice the price and you get half the things .

The conroe is the most powerful cpu to date , i swear it is soooo cooooooool.
 
this question is like asking us to pick out a pair of shoes for you to wear....

What will you use the comp for? Do you really need a laptop? Im guessing no since you asked... but if you do, can you wait for merom?

yup. eitehr get the conroe or wait for merom. Merom = lower power consuming, slightly downgraded conroe. that's still got a performance gain over any semperon any day, anywhere.
