Want to buy PC?
After reading up and catching up on some computing literature including todays products and stuff, i realised that we are in a very particular stage in the the computer technology cycle. Never has it been such as today the wrong time to buy a computer. The 64 bit processors of AMD will soon be met with Intels own brand as the technology becomes more universal. Prices will drop soon also as soon as this occurs, so if you spend £500 on an AMD processor today, you many find that next 6 months you will only need £250.
PCI express, is soon to be released. Making older PCI cards redundant. You will find that if you buy a computer today, it will become outdated in the space of 1 month.

True but that how the market always has worked. I remeber when I bought my ATI9700 PRO and 3 weeks later they came out with the 9800...
As long as there is an application to push it (PC games IE Doom3) and rich kids are willing to spend their mom and dads money on it, their will constantly be a evolving market.

I think the push to technology is outstanding. The fact we're moving to PCIExpress and 64 bit computing is excellent. The last time we changed the bus width (16bit to 32bit) was with the 486dx2, and the last time we changed bus type (ISA to PCI) was around the same time. which is like a decade ago. The performance gains should be similar, too...that's about the time the pentium came out. Now MacroShaft needs to hurry up with their 64bit XP.
