OK, here's another slightly different question for you ...
What's most important to you in choosing and buying hardware components for your rig: 1. absolutely top end performance based on benchmarking, whatever the price and no matter how frequently you need to upgrade 2. best bang for your bucks based on reviews etc and still with frequent upgrades 3. best bang for your bucks and aiming for best future-proofing (minimal upgrades) 4. lowest possible price to do only what you need and nothing more with upgrades only if necessary 5. let low powered machine decide what you can do on it because u won't/can't upgrade 6. Slickestpossible looks rather than fastest performance no matter what the cost I'd be interested to see this as a poll...but I no longer have moderator powwer so I'll leave it to Ian to add it if he likes...???  Anyway, what's your view? (Just for info, I would class myself as a 2) Windows is now a 64 bit tweak of a 32 bit extension to a 16 bit user interface for an 8 bit operating system based on a 4 bit architecture from a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition...So why the hell have I bought Vista?...OK so Win 7 is pretty good now.

Yup, you should be able to post a poll 1nt, if not I'll fix that
 I'll edit the thread now to include one  I'm number 3 myself - I'll get a reasonable machine that can run the latest games fairly well, but the money I've saved I'd wait 18 months and upgrade the graphics card etc... Been quite lucky and got a cheap X850XT PE at the moment, so I might be able to get away with a couple of years with this card
