Re: advice on this computer?
Erm, their is no predicting that far in advance, but a lot of the stuff your putting on that is becoming old hat already, ie the RAM and Chip.
But, its should be a solid enough machine for a couple of years. |

Re: advice on this computer?
Have you considered taking a Phenom II 955 BE? It's 30 quit cheaper then the Q9550, yet it performs just as well. And AM3 CPU's are backwards compatible with AM2+ mobo's, which means you can still use cheaper DDR2 RAM.
