no way, im happy with my x2 system, i guess u could call me b1gapl, i hardly even game anymore besides my nightly quake 3 installment, im probably just live with this until 6 months and then consider a mid range i7 build, or deneb. ive got a chance to go for a basketball scholarship to ncaa basketball so im gonna be trainging everyday in the skool holidays and not alot of gaming is gonna happen.
