I'll pay you I'll give you my .02. Not that you wanted it. Sometimes I find that to be an excellent time to upgrade. The prices drop like a rock (sometimes) and the software developers wait a while for enough people to get the new technology before they jump in and use it. So depending on what the prices do and what a person uses the computer for, it might be let's make a deal.
I build my own so I can pick and choose parts. I paid $120 for 1GB of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800mhz and now you can get 2GB for $28 because of the DDR3 coming out. I agree that you should buy the newest technology, if you can afford it but sometimes people can get what they need for a lot less money if they buy the 'old' stuff.
But thanks for the heads up!!
