hehe.. same problem i had, thinking that i would never ever need a floppy, coz i already got cd burner.. went to the local cpu store and forked out 15$ just so i could OC my 9500pro.. was well worth it.. and turned out i needed the floppy once again for school project..Originally posted by t00lb0xComment

OK ! We've moved, all is good.....
Apparently, my wife "worked it into the budget" ! $800 worth ! SWEET !!!!!!
Not to say that I have to use all that, but, I now have options. I still should wait a couple weeks though.
Current pricing here in the Montreal, Canada area is as follows:
Retail boxed parts:
9700 Pro --------> $439 ($505 w/tax)
AIW 9700 Pro ---> $519 ($597 w/tax)
2500+ (Barton) --> $189 ($217 w/tax)
If I get the 2500+ & the 9700Pro, it'll be $722 w/tax.
If I get the 2500+ & the AIW9700Pro, it'll be $814 w/tax.
My current setup (as per sig) has an 1800+ & 7500 combo which is slow.
Would the extra cash for the 2500+ CPU be worth it ?
Would I see a boost in performance ?
Or should I wait for either the 9800Pro 256mb or the nVidia 5900 Ultra, which would use the whole budget by itself ? (and stay with my 1800+)SPAM Special OpsComment

If you can get some decent use out of a AIW, then I'd go for that. Worked a treat for me. ;)Comment

I'd use the AIW to record some of my favorite shows onto my HD.
But it might be a passing novelty, and in which case, it would not make sense to waste the extra $80 on the AIW.
I could get a 5900 Ultra, but then no cpu. Or I could get the 9700Pro and a 2500+ cpu, which would probably give the best performance / price ratio.
How would a cpu upgrade (1800+ ---> 2500+) affect my computer's performance ?
If I didn't get a new cpu, would the new video card (which ever I get) be limited by the current cpu ?
Why is this such a hard decision ?SPAM Special OpsComment

I went from a GF3 to a 9700 Pro in my 1800+ system, and it does make a nice difference. However, I'd go for both 9700Pro + 2500+ CPU...Comment

This is what we see in Sweden atm:
9500 pro 128 mb = $249 :no:
Ti4200 128 mb agp x8 = $ 139 :thumb:
So here it's one helluva difference..
But damn I want dx9 support before Doom.. :mad:
Been doing some overtime lately so that the government of mine will authorize the purchase of a 5900 pro later on before the Doom3 release..:devil win

Wrong section for this question, but I think it is relavent.Originally posted by Beefy
In which area(s) would I see a performance boost from a cpu upgrade ? Game loading or game playing ? Or are both areas determined by the video card ?SPAM Special OpsComment
