    Vista 64 bit - worth going to C2Q/C2D

    Hi All,
    I've currently got a X2 4400+ paired with a 8800GTX sitting on my desk. I'm considering the move to Vista 64bit - as it's just arrived in my MS Action Pack and is therefore free. My question is, is it currently worth going to a C2D/C2Q?

    It doesn't seem like there's much out there at the moment which taxes my PC (aside from Crysis), so is it better to wait for the next CPU cycle?

    Cheers

    Just up the RAM to 4 GB and dual boot. No need for a C2D. Vista 64 is nice to use and muck about with but I find it much slower than XP.
