Im trying to decide to upgrade my system to the new P4 3.6GHz + processors, new asus PCI express motherboard, DDR2 ram, and a PCI express 6800ULTRA, or to just buy the new 6800ULTRA AGP, and use my current system for another year or so? What would you all do? Do you think that if I keep my current sysytem for another year or so Concidering that I bought The new 6800 ULTRA, that my computer will play all the new games? My current specs are in my sig. :confused:

u have an awesome setup just upgrade the card to the ultra, i've heard there are some compability issues with the express cards in some games, and sometimes they don't even get as good of performance so stick with agp.
 
Just upgrade the vid card. No sense if getting a whole new proc, mobo, and ram when you have a setup like that. That's a sweet speed on air. If you just wanna spend $$$, ditch that noisy tornado, get a vapochill or water cooling, and see if you can crack 4GHz.
 
wait for pci-E, ddr 2 and all of that stuff to mature..

on second thought though.. you can be an early adopter and buy the stuff so the prices go down for the rest of us... ;)

it looks like you can afford to seeing the specs of your current system...
 
Right now, upgrading is purely an animal urge ... :D Our computers are fast enough to do most of any computing ... so if you have the itch, and can afford it, then go for it ... I know I will ... :D
