Been thinking of a new desktop for a while, just a few months a go I replaced my 3 year old Core 2 Duo laptop with a core i7 Skyfire laptop from PC specialist and a very good laptop it is too. The windows rating for the 2.2Ghz processor was higher (only by .1 but still higher) than my desktop that is a first gen core i7 running @ 2.8 Ghz
anyway to the point my desktop is 3 years old soon, was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to a new 3rd gen Core i7 (running at 3.5 Ghz) or if I should just wait out until the 4th gen to arrive.
i can just stick my graphics card from my current system in the new one (its a radeon 6950) to save money thinking of waiting until the Radeon 8xxx series before upgrading graphics again
