Yer, I've heard the talk on another forum. (hundreds of pages of it hehe)
It would mean a whole new system from what I gather - new mobo new ram new gfx... that's just not in my budget. Plus new tech is
always expensive for at least 6 months or more.
Of course this probably means that existing AMD chips will take a price cut, whist retailers focus on the new generation stuff.
lol My last full system buy was quite a bit behind the times in terms of the technology... I sort of aimed for the top end of the middle range of parts (especially CPU - @ the time the dual core 6000+ cpu's were pushing 600 quid!), this ended up being a reasonable compromise between speed and price.
I'd always planned on stretching my current platform with an eventual CPU/RAM upgrade (OS permitting). Had my work circumstances been better recently I'd most likely have a newer machine already.
But them's the breaks.
