Okay, this week i have come down to the conclusion that I am going to dread the my next computer upgrade. This week, I did did the following for builds :-
1. 1x Pentium 4 LGA775 System with DDR 2
2. 2x AMD Socket 939 Systems
With the amount of changes that has happened in the last 12 months, I am not looking forward to my next major upgrade when my retire my 2 current computer.
Firstly we got SATA. It's definatly way to go. But a it does look like I am going to have to ditch my current drives.
PCI-Express. Unlike the change over from ISA to PSI and the induction of AGP, PCI-X as hit the market with the current market with an EVOLVE or DIE approach. Motherboards come with AGP or PCI-X. Not both. So this means i am going to be up for a new video card whether i like it or not when i upgrade.
Power Supply. Well, I don't think my current Just Cooler Job is going to be enough for then I do get my AMD Athlon 64. And not only that , but the connection has changed on for where I plug it into the motherboard.
And finally DDR2 ram. I am going to need to replace the DDR@FSB400 that I got in their new stuff.
To sum it all up.... I am not looking forward to my next computer upgrade as it's going to be expensive as I will be replacing just about every thing. (As where the past upgrades was an incrimental process)
I do look forward to the my next computer when I get around to moving to the AMD ATHLON 64 SOCKET 939 (or better). But I do dread the financial slug that it's going to be as it will be basically a whole new machine.
Any one else in this same feeling?
BTW, I am currently looking for some one to arrange an insurance job on my house....
Can any one suggest me an insurance company that has good home computer coverage for either theif or power surges.
