Current rig is in the signature...
I'm going to 64-bit when Windows 7 hits the shelves. I want to go to a minimum of 8GB of RAM.
I really don't have much time for games anymore but I do a lot of heavy multitasking.
So is it worth it moving to i7?
I'd be reusing my HDD's and monitors just upgrading everything else. I'd like to spend about $1,000.
