GEEEZ.... I haven't been here in forever... glad it's still here.
Anyway, I want to buy a new computer but I don't know if it is the right TIME. I mean, I don't want to buy a Pentium 4 just cuz I've read so much stuff on it and people don't like it. Also that Intel is coming out with the Conroe (which I think is the Core Duo???? right??) and ditching the whole Pentium 4 convinced me to not buy a P4. But there are the Pentium D 800's (which is 2 p4's stuck together... i think..) so I want to stay away from that too. So what is the difference between Yonah and Conroe?? Is Conroe the Pentium 900's?
Besides all that, I want to know when it would be the best time to buy a computer. I mean, how long is it gonna take for the new chips to come out? I heard some 6ghz chip would come out this year 2006, but I think that might be bogus...
And what brand should I get? I want a computer that is on the high end. I am willing to spend $1,500. And no I am not interested in building it, although I probably could.
I am looking more into Desktops, but information on laptops is also good. But please specify which one you're talking about. Thanks guys~
