Since the new Intel Core i7 on it's release on November 2008, many systems on the market out now have "Intel Core i7" on the systems. Many family users, casual computer users, etc. who recently bought new computer systems lately probably own the core i7 cpu already. Well I got something to say to that, I think they might as well have a dual core processor or hell.. better yet having a single core processor if they're not going to take advantage of their cpu to play games and use software that use a lot of computer resources. Hell, even the new desktops on computer shelves have memory loaded with "4gb" now...
I'm kind of dissapointed atm because people who buy new computers these days have no clue about computers. They don't even need that kind of processor, that much ram, etc. if all they're not going to use their computer for gaming, software use, etc... all they're probably gonna ever use it for is school work, chat, surf internet, etc.
In fact, there's still many gamers out there who just upgraded to the "LGA 775" including my self who owns a "Intel 2 Quad Core Q6600".
I also have DDR2, though now I believe the new desktop systems have DDR3 now.
What makes the DDR3 ram better than DDR2 ram? Like if I have 8GB of DDR2 ram, (2x4gb)(DUAL CHANNEL). is it better than 6GB of DDR3 ram?(3x2gb)(TRIPLE CHANNEL)?
Anyways, what do you guys think? Is it ok for me not to upgrade to the intel core i7 yet and just stay with my processor I have atm(in my signature)? I mean seriously considering at our economy right now there are a lot of people that can't afford to constantly upgrade their gaming rig...
