I'm still pretty happy with my dual-core computer with 2GB ram running older softwares. Adobe CS3? I don't see a huge leap from CS2 and can use CS2 to make same stuff as in CS3. Word? I still use 2003, don't need to look at that weird tool bar on Word 2007. Video and Sound Edit, Premiere is still as good as is and I still got After Effects intact. Now games, DX10 games...hmm...I don't play first person shooters and I can certain buy a PS3 or Wii at much cheaper price than upgrade my whole computer and use Vista at full force.
Now, why do I need Vista? Oh...except the fact that my laptop was installed with Vista! 
I'm sticking with this machine for another few years. Quad-core 8-core, nah, wait until they come up with a 48 or 72 core processor or when the diamond processor launches then I will reconsider. |
