If you are/would do a new upgrade, what would you get?

Would you go Intel? or AMD?

What RAM would you buy?

Any particular Motherboard manufacture?

Would you swing to an Apple? "Probably not "

Nvidia or ATI?

PCI-Express or good old AGP?

I'll start

My next upgrade will be the Intel Dualcore 805D CPU, the one that can be Overclocked to around 4GHz for £80 ;D Which means I'm going DDR2 as well.
I want to go ATI as my next graphics card, I'm also looking at around 2TB storage. I'd stick with PCI-Express, I can still use my dodgy 6800GT while it still has some life left. And I'm not too picky on Motherboard manufactures "although I should be!"

I've only got a laptop for work really, does what it does so its okay for now

I would swing the mac way. a bit pricy i no but some of the thing you can now do with a mac and the new OS10 are unreal and could only dream about useing windows. There also very good for music if thats what floats your boat

Wouldn't say a Mac isn't any better than a x86-based system. Besides, most of "what you can do on a Mac" is mainly based on the new Boot-camp program, allowing you to Install XP on a Mac. They're no different, if anything, slower, than a x86 system. I dunno, I'm a fan for freedom, and being able to do more etc without voiding a warranty.

Make sure the hardware is compatible.....sometimes some motherboards dont work
in combination with graphic cards or harddisk controllers...

check the manufacturer's specifiction for compatible components/hardware!

marry all of that

the new mac book pro (the black 1!) looks fucking brill and is a wicked laptop

Not a big fan of Laptops myself, I prefer the full kit And I like to upgrade my Graphics card without having to sell/throw the whole unit away ;D

i aint keen on laptops either! yeah sure the portable etc but if you want summat new it costs it, i prefer the whole unit as its a lot better, tower unit anyday for me!

If I'm going to a LAN, I want to lug my shit round and impress, not be on a dinky Laptop with shite keys playing UT 2004 at the lowest settings

lan is beastly especially when you have a few comps in your place! i get a ping of between 2 and 6 when playing on wireless lan!

I go to bigger LANs with 100+ people attending. Even more fun

that would be immense for a lot of games lol

[quote="Mike456"]If you are/would do a new upgrade, what would you get?
