Wait till after Xmas?

[lee0539]

I was wondering if I should wait for vista and DX10 to come out fully before setting up a computer. If Quad cores will become cheap enough and not sure if its worth getting over dual cores. Planning on under 3k for computer with a 24inch monitor... probably going to try and wait for another sale on 24" dell widescreen then get the computer parts after. The spec on my sig is what i have currently and its really old, but its been decent for things like WoW and Counterstrike. Would be nice to start playing CoD2 without the issue of fps, but I can wait a bit. Just wondering if vista and DX10 will be released soon so i can get something like 8900GTS

I don't see quad cores becoming even remotely cheap anytime soon. besides, the current crop of dual cores aren't in any way lacking in power.

vista for businesses should be out jan/dec I think, and dx10 cards already exist. why not just build a 6600/8800 rig, trick the hell out of it, and then wait for vista?
