I built this computer 2 years ago:
SOLTEK SL-K8AN2E-GR Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB 7200 RPM SATA150
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.0ghz OC’ed @ 2.35ghz
Antec TRUE430 ATX 430W Power Supply
Cooler Master Praetorian PAC-T01-EK Black
Crucial Ballistix Memory 1 Gig PC 4000 DDR 500
eVGA 6800GT 256mg AGP

I keep hearing how great these new Conroe CPU's are so I was thinking of ordering a E6300. My question is do you guys think it is worth it for me to upgrade to a new system at this point in the game?

Will a e6300, 2gig DDR2 PC5300,7900GTO give me a large boost in performance that will last me a couple more years?

ANP !!!

It will Surely give a BIG performance boost from A64 2g/6800GT >> E300/7900GTO.... Well Worth it.IMHO.

It's worth it. Especialy if you often does multitasking.

If you plan to keep the new system for 2 years+...then give me your e-mail address so that i can forward you personal info on members who told you to upgrade 3 months before dx10 hw is coming out.
