I'm probably like most of you out there that has built, upgraded and switched back and forth between AMD and Intel over the years and I have to say that I have done this a few times and probably will a few more times before its over.

| My PC's Name: | Crysis Killer (hehe, yeah whatever) |
| Date Built/Last Mod: | 3/22/08 |
| Building PCs for: | More than 4 years |
| Future Plans: | 3rd video card in SLI or a newer single card. But will wait until theres at least a 25-30 performance increase to justify the upgrade.
I may possibly transfer my Q6600 over to my media center setup and upgrade my main rig or simply go with the nice new AMD 940 and a very nice ASUS micro ATX mobo upgrade. I have found that AMD pwns Intel in the offerings on micro atx boards for feature vs price and performance. |
