@ Duff and anyone else interested... I thought I would throw in my 2 cents...
From what my cousin tells me... he builds computers btw... anyway, there is new technology coming out around August. (There is always new tech. coming out) LOL
But anyways, this will be in regards to mobos and cpus. First of all I would only go with Asus for mobos. And, I think he said, August, so wait until the end of the year or beginning of the next year for prices to drop, but they will be having mobos with larger socket config. ( I dont know much about this.. but the CPU will have more pins, and be protected from being bent.... like I say... I dont much about hardware myself, I have just heard this from someone who builds machines)
Anyway, if anyone has any other info, please lemme know.
Thanks

woowoo
yep like bigdawgfoxx said, but at that time it will be way to expensive and not much support for it yet so i probably wouldn't buy it until atleast a few months after it has come out.

people always say to wait for the new technology. If you stuck
to that you'll never buy a comp. New technology comes out every month.
Just jump and make sure that whatever you get won't be obsolute in 2mos like
when I bought my P4B mobo that only takes SDRAM
another thing-get a good cpu and you'll never need to upgrade unless ur 1 of those people you love to have the newest shyt.
compatibility is a BIG issue as well. Make sure things will remain compat. when upgrading. You can't put 64bit amd in A7N8X and u can't put PC2700 mem in a 64bit mobo(K8V)...
You'll most likely only need to upgrade the vid card once in a while to continue playing the latest games like GTA 8 or something.
It's all about speed and how satisfied you are with it and how much ur willing to spend of course.
I think I said new technology is always coming out... but if you buy the mobo now.. you will be wasting your money unless you wait for 6 months, if you can wait... because you will get more bang for your buck. By that time, they will have bugs worked out and prices will have gone down.Originally posted by trillscout@18 June 2004 - 21:12

Granted, new technology is coming out all the time, BUT this is a big leap. 64 bit processors, DDR2 RAM and PCI express are all due to come out (or already have partially been released) this summer. Methinks if you are ever going to hold on to your money, do it now.
Theres never a right time to buy stuff. If you keep on waiting for a better price, you'll never get it, and if you just go out and buy it straight away you'll always find it cheaper later.Originally posted by Duffman3@18 June 2004 - 01:08
Well, I did post this the day before the big loss and never got to see the respones if there were any. But I want to upgrade my CPU, motherboard, RAM, and my video card.
I want to spend around 500$ and get the best bang for my buck. I mostly play SWG, so when is the best time to buy, when the newest top of the line comes out and when is that supposed to be. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nevertheless.....I would hold your guns now mate, then again thats just me...
