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...

Yeah, and while we're at it, let's make sure all cars have only 150HP, since the speed limit is only 100.

lol, well I kinda know how you feel, having a non-gamer with a better CPU than me annoys me a bit, though us gamers still have superior GPUs! Almost no computer off the shelf has anything that can touch a true gamer's GPu unless the person paid over $2000, so you can still brag about that!

Okay, to answer your question, now that your post has been edited.

If you're not getting 60 fps on low settings anymore, that's when you upgrade. You don't need a l33t system to be a 'gamer'. But it's your money, do what you want.

Well I think I would be good with my processor now.. if I want to see some improvements in gaming in terms of FPS I think I'll just upgrade my video card for now... don't you think?

With the new "Geforce 200 Series" I think is what matters for now.

Well yeah, a GPU upgrade would net the most improvement.

Honestly though, the 8800GT can still kick most games on the market.
