How i feel, everyone has their time. I just got mine. I spent every red cent on my XT and 4000. I had only enough, its not smart to spend all your money on something you WANT rather then NEED. But i really made myself happy. So thats really what counts. I dont have any regrets. I dident have a clue i was getting the 4000. Today at work i was going to get the 3800. Then i found out i could pull the 4000 barely. Most the time i can barely afford lunch.
Yes it sucks watching new processors come out, then gradually yours becomes out-dated. But at least you can always look forward to getting something better.
