I 'm actually kind of surprised at tech advances in the last year or so. My rig is 2 years old, and it's a p4 2.6 ghz system. Other then dual ram use, slightly faster MB speeds, and videocard advances, there really hasn't been any great speed increases since then. And I've always found I've needed a new system every 2 years, but I'm running all the latest games pretty well here.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
