This says more about you than the people you're describing.
Obviously if you're going to be buying a computer any time soon you'd have half the brains to do some research, and once you do you'll realize the technologies coming out soon and what not. Using that info you can ask yourself whether buying a computer now is a good idea or whether to wait until that new piece of tech. comes out.
The perfect formula for never buying anything.
There is always something newer/better just around the corner. That's how the game works.
It's all relative.
Leave my mother out of this please.

Once it's out of the box it's old. Now that's the golden rule.
Agree with you there.

Edit: If you spend more than 2 grand on a comp. either you're loaded or you don't look for the lowest prices possible, a 10k comp. is just fuckin ridiculous.

A $10K PC would be totally tits...can you really say you wouldn't love to have one?

That's just you, because you don't seem that big of a gamer.

I'd like to see you buy a comp right now and still play the latest games 4 years from now. You tit. Stfu and think before you talk. Keep your shite opinions to yourself or at least add IMO to your feckin worthless BSing.

heh 4 years, i can already say that my 7900gt will be having trouble with newer games by then, and im pretty sure, my 3500+ will be wheezing a bit to keep up. games are only going to get more advanced. i mean graphically ut2k4 vs doom3, quake 4? huge diffrence in short time. guess i'll add the imo just to cover myself.

I bought my POS back in 2001, have yet to replace it (I haven't bought that comp that I wanted to build yet) and it runs fine, only game that runs crappy is FEAR, but as you said I'm not a gamer. I'm such a tit for saving money, that's pretty cool dumbass

.

But I should point out that I upgraded the vid card and put some extra mem. into it since 2001.

In 2001 the midrange-high end comp at most had a pentium 4 1.6-2.0ghz, 128mb-1gig ram, and a shitty FX5200-5600 or a Radeon 9000-9600.

Don't tell me a system like that is not obsolete.

Sure, you can still run some games released nowdays, but at the lowest resolutions and with lag. You can't even run more demanding games with that system, like HL2: LC or Oblivion.

And upgrading such an obsolete system is plain stupid, because mobo back then hadn't even heard of PCI-E and used AGP, so if you were indeed telling the truth then you actually went out and bought an AGP vid card.

Stop BSing you retarded tit.

When did I say I had a PCI-E mobo? Never. I said I was thinking of purchasing one along w/ many other components. Think before you type/speak buds.

And yes, I did have 5200 (nice guess) for a while, it ran HL2 at 800x600 fine (when you consider the size of the monitor, resolution is negligible at least to me anyway).
