ewww $340 for it, bit more than i thought it would settle at...oh well, i'm going for nehalem now anyway

Anybody who can afford those processors should just hold their builds off until Core i7

^^ The Q9550 is still a good upgrade for someone with a dual core and a p35/43/45.

 

[veg1992]

Meh, I wouldn't consider upgrading it if I had your system

Most would save that for i7

 

[Puddle Jumper]

I won't be upgrading anytime soon. My new Antec 300 will hold me over for a while.

Btw I know this is WAAYYYY off topic, but in normal use with nothing opened, how much available RAM do you have.. because I'm going 2-27mb.. which is pretty sad..

 

[Puddle Jumper]

I've never looked a free ram before. I usually go by the memory usage chart.

I wonder why it's so low.

 

[veg1992]

Ok you've got the same as me (about)..

Oh well...I guess once I get a dedicated GPU, it'll be like 256mb + (thats how much the HD 3200 steals)
