Hello,
Almost 2 years ago I made a terrible decision by giving a local computer store almost $2700 to build me a computer, terrible mistake!!! This was also the time when dual/quad processors just came out. I had been stuck with single AMD 4000+ processor and DDR memory for all this time.
I am almost ready for my first build now, just waiting for Q9450 to see the comparisons toward E8400. Most of us know that the next gen processors are on its way (Nehalem) Q4 2008. My question is how fast the Nehalem will be compared to Q9450/E8400 (haven't decided et) I don think that I will be able to handle the disappointment if Nehalem will be 2X as the current top of the line processors…I know that there hasn't been much information released about Nehalem but in general, is it going to 1 crazy processor? I know that it's going to a new socket so upgrading the processor is out of the question…What would u guys suggest I do?
Thanks.
