    Will you buy Ivy Bridge?

    Her? Ya. I won't care once it is on my desk though. The GTS250 has chugged along well but will be replaced with the latest and greatest video card. She just has her financial priorities straight and I have too many dang hobbies. Thats why I want a rig that is going to last me a long time...
