Phew, that was pretty intense. Wow, i need a brake... ()
In all seriousness though does anyone think it would be worth spending say $125 for a bigger HDD and more RAM, or just plain getting a new one? See my thought process is that i can save up a tad more to get something even better next year, and just use this for another year, or i could get a new one now with what i have and risk some new crazy advancement in computers a year from now... Any ideas?
There can never be an affordable advancement greater then going from your present computer to a new one now. Yes the present computers may get a bit cheaper, as with all technology. Now would be a good time to buy, memory is cheap, a dual core or even a quad core is actually affordable. And once you have a new rig it meets all the present standards again so next time you need a faster pc you can just upgrade.
Of course it all depends on how much you use your computer and if you play alot of games or other high demanding applications.
