OT: Computer benchmarks

[Suicide Junkie]

Personally, I get ~$300 worth of whole new system every 4 or 5 years and it is plenty fast.

How much are you wanting to spend on this?

Don't think it's worth it just yet. Final quarter of 2007 there will, apparantly, be released new Intel and AMD quad core CPUs( this time a 'real' quad core from Intel ), and the 9xxx line of Nvidia cards is also expected to arrive around that time. Even if you're not planning on buying the latest, they will at least ensure a price drop on existing hardware.
