Upgrade to a Conroe??

you have a really decent processor... thats almost top of the line anyways...
your definetely going to be good with that if you dont go conroe right now...

what do you do want to do or do you do with this processor?

gaming? multimedia?
 
I think your friend is on crack for saying a X2 4800+ is obselete. Just looking at your sig, you already have one hell of a machine already. In fact, what you have is overkill for a 19" LCD, your monitor is what needs to be upgraded.

You machine is great for a 19" monitor....even if you had a larger one it is still great.

It is not the VERY VERY BEST, but it is still at the top and a very fast very good machine.

The 8800 will make the biggest diff for DX10, and you have it so no worries! ;)

I'm the *friend* who said that buying a Conroe then oc'ing it would yield better results, but the word *obselete* had never found it's way into our conversation now did it Kilroy?

Nor did I say that there was anything wrong with your system period.


We've also discussed that in no way would it make sense to upgrade to an Intel system for stock speeds, unless it was the Extreme X800@2.93, which we both agreed that would be foolish and not cost effective.

So, I'm not sure why this has come about?

The way this conversation was put, it seemed like you were a wanna-be techie who usually reads Tom's Hardware. Also, why did you/he say that a 4800+ would be obselete for DX10 games?
 
Your processor is still awesome, but with a 8800GTS, you would want to upgrade to a conroe down the track.
