Who hasnt gone 64 yet?

[javalord]

I wait till its on its knees, I dont upgrade unless there's at least an 150% increase otherwise it doesnt seem worth while overall.

[Karl|Neo]

Still got my 2.4C P4 going strong @ 3Ghz, about to buy a new HSF for it actually. RAM and GFX upgrades are way higher on my list at the moment.

Currently still running a XP2500 @ roughly 2ghz - does the job for me and to be honest I haven't been playing as many games recently so my 9800 Pro is the ticket.

Probably going to build a middle range 64bit rig before Uni - nothing too fancy though.

It all depends on what you are using it for.

I recently upgraded to a venice 3000+ as it just seemed the right time, good clocking cheap cores, mobo offered cheaply from someone i knew, how could i use.

The performance (difference) really depends on what you are playing/doing, however i certainly like my PC quite a bit cooler! Obviously it puts a lot more demand on your PSU too, before rails were overvolting ever so slightly now the 12v rail is about 11.8 constantly.

EDIT: How bizarre i was in exactly the same situation as rogue saber, and i thought well as i am going to upgrade sooner or later i might as well do it now whilst i have the time and before i go to uni

My best 3 computers are AMD 3500 winnie (specs in sig), 3.4ghz P4 and XP2400 (well, rivaled with P3 I guess).

The 3500 is faster than my 3.4ghz P4, which has 2gigs memory. AMD for life.

[poolking]

I'm still on a lowly XP1800+.

[StormPC]

I'm still using my 4200+, my 4400+ and my FX-55's but plan to upgrade like everyday!

[Tomahawk]

I haven't am still running my XP2600.. But this is mainly due to no money!.. If I had the cash I would definately upgrade, as I am starting to notice it's just not as good as it use to be!..

[poolking]

Same here down to cash.

[noah]

recently gone from an xp2600 to a clawhammer 3200, was a cheap ugrade as i bought it second hand and sold my old stuff. makes a difference in the more demanding games and worth the £50 odd it cost to upgrade.

[javalord]

Its good that some of you are upgrade crazy - makes it cheaper for the rest of us Although im yet to see anyone who keeps blowing money on upgrading every 6 months to really prove that they need to

[blueprint]

Yeah people who do that have too much money. You don't need to upgrade that much, cirtinaly not the entire system.

[satan]

I haven't gone 64, and I don't plan to in the near future. I love my rig as it is, and I plan to keep it for another year at least.

[StormPC]

Yeah people who do that have too much money. You don't need to upgrade that much, cirtinaly not the entire system.

Well if you build systems for a living you have to know what works well and what doesn't. I can not trust my business to review sites who all have their own agendas no matter how well meaning they are.

For instance, if I didn't blow up the MSI Neo4 and torture the Asus A8N-E Deluxe I would not have know how much better the Asus is than the MSI.

[tiggerai]

I'm still running my trusty XP2600+/Corsair XMS/Ti4200

First thing that shall be upgraded is the Graphics card, already got a memory upgrade waiting for it then i just need a new HDD to install to.

I shall be going 64 as soon as funds allow. It's high time i got back into it to be honest.

And probably getting myself a decent TFT
