Heres my issue. Ive been working (summer job and currently a paid internship), and decided to get a new computer. I have a budget of $1500 up to 1900$ (tax returns getting me about 400, although I would rather be closer to $1500). I want this computer to be able to last me a decent amount of time, prefferably through college, with minimal upgrades. Heres what my builds looking like so far.
Im looking at the processor that I plan on getting (AMD64 3700+ $233), and am also looking at an Operton 165 ($325). Should I spend the extra hundred and go with the dual core operton? While it runs at 1.8ghz (vs the 3700+ 2.2), I hear it is a breeze to OC. The games Im currently into are WoW, DoD (not source), and I plan to join some friends on DAoC (free servers). Do you guys think I should just plunk down the extra 100 now? Will it be worth it? Any plans on games coming out with dual core support? As always, any comments appreciated.
