I'm looking to upgrade here very soon and the new 1090T certainly has my eye. I'm mainly a gamer, but also a general power user and try to use every thread I can. I'm not a complete upgrade freak, hence still having the Q6600, which means I'd like the system to still hold its own in the future as I don't plan to freak over for every new CPU...but I wonder, would I be better suited with a 965/955 or a 1090T?
The hexacore certainly has my mouth watering and I'd like some "futureproofing" (such a bad term) as well as performance. As I said before, I currently rock a Core 2 Quad Q6600 OCed from 2.4GHz to 3.2GHz, what kinda of performance increase can I see from going full AM3, included the obvious pushing of a Black Edition chip? I pray for 4GHz+
I simply can't decide, help me [H]!
