Comment Until 'they' motivate me to do so (Score 1) 408
I usually by mid-grade systems and over the avg. lifespan of 3 years, I max memory and upgrade video cards from time to time.
There was nothing wrong with those systems when we decided to upgrade.
This last upgrade we switched to top of the line/best in class hardware and hope to resist the urge a little longer prior to upgrading.
I really notice very little performance upgrade this past 3 year cycle. What's really new?
So, until I can buy a nCore processor supported by applications and operating systems that will utilize them - I don't see the need for mid-grade consumers to upgrade.
