OT: Building a new computer...

[Randallw]

Thanks, I'll remember to stick with dual core then and leave the quad stuff for the one after that then. Either that or keep an eye out to see if the games I'm after use quad stuff, though I see by your explanation that probably won't be.

About the only other thing I have running when I game is music. That and I don't bother closing internet windows. I have a couple of coasters though that taught me to close everything else when I burn DVDs.

I actually went into a new store and said I was after a top end system. The salesman, maybe after a big commision, pointed out to me a big quad core system. I said to him

"ok I said I wanted top end but I didn't mean that much"

he then pointed out the systems along the back wall.
