Greetings All,
The time and opportunity have come to get a new computer. My first and main conundrum is when to get it: now or wait for the new year. Of course, I want a new computer now but I can also see waiting until the new year for a few things. Coming very soon are Vista, DirectX 10 and the new Intel hardware hitting the market (possible price drops by January).
My computer now is OK. It has a 2.6HT P4 with a 9800Pro (a gig of meshmash RAM) but it was originally a Dell which I have gutted and replaced with what I could. I would very much like to play Obvilion and AoE III. If I keep saying this is on the horizon I will never buy and in a state of perpetual waiting.
Does it make sense to wait for January or buy now in prep for Vista, etc. I would appreciate any input, ideas, suggestions as I weigh my options. Many thanks!
