| 359496 | 2005-05-29 07:08:00 | I'm looking to get a new machine sometime this year . At home I am still pounding along on a P450 (no kidding) it does all I need, but I would like to upgrade so I can use XP, and maybe get into video (pipe dream) . So considering all the new technology out, who would punt for a vanilla 2 . 8 -3 . 2 gig machine now? Would a double core, or 64 bit, etc etc, be worth waiting for? Which passes the "reality difference" test? IE: something that you actually notice the difference on when you use it? (I use a 3 . 2 gig machine at work and hardly notice a difference with what I have here at home . ) Whats the next gee wizz tech that will change our lives and be worth hanging on for? |
