    The Captain's Itch

    Brannigan


    So, I have the itch to do some upgrades to my farm. But what?

    GPU? I want more 7900 goodness, but really want to wait for the dual card. 690 is $999...but I already have a lot of nvidia strength. Anything else on the horizon?

    CPUs? Nothing new soon, right?

    Bored!

    I am out of the pc part market for awhile, time to save for move next year. So, I am avoiding looking at parts and news so I don't get the itch.

    No new line of (good) CPUs til next year. There's a decent chance the AMD HD 8000 series and Nvidia's 700 series will show up by the end of the year, or at least before new CPUs do. Other than that...bleh

    I'm stuck waiting for the dual AMD card as well. Later this month unless they push it back again.
