Hey guys,
I should finally be coming into some money in the next couple of weeks, and I'll finally be able to scratch that terrible upgrade itch!
I'm on a bit of a budget, but have several options;
A) Upgrade to 45nm, 12mb L2 Core 2 Quad, keeping existing parts, but maybe buy some DDR3 to go with it that I could possibly carry over to my next rig
B)Upgrade to new mobo, cpu and RAM; thinking 1156 i5 760 or Xeon X3440
C) Wait till Sandy Bridge in Q1 2011?
I'm feeling the inadequacy of my current CPU, previous circumstances forcing me to downgrade from a Q9550 to this, and my uses benefit from those extra threads!
So what do you think?
