I finally pulled the trigger...
...on this spec. Core i7 2600 P67 Rev3 (B3) SKT 1155, Sony DVD/RW , 4gb 1600Mhz DDR3, 500Gb SATAII, On-Board Vid, 1-Year RTB, Windows 7 Professional 64bit from here. http://www.easypc-uk.com/ £499 for the machine £110 for the OS, delivery in 10-15 days. My trusty Dell 531 AMD 4000+ X2 which is still doing the do will now be relegated to internet and network duties so I can keep the new one free from the perils involved with putting it on-line. If it lasts a good 3 years I'll have managed to stay within a hardware budget of under £200 pa for the last 10 years which for me has been blinding value for money. I can't wait

Right on Jon! Nothing like the excitement of a new PC and having one for the internet is just right. Congrats! I connect my recording one to internet for specific program updates/installs. After having to have a tech come to the house for repair and having to reload the OS I now have a Ghost full backup on an external drive and update that when needed.

Sounds like it will change everything (again). Congrats.

I'm in the same boat right now, Jon, although it hasn't been quite as long for me. We could race, I guess. :)

At some stage I'll probably add more but that's almost twice of what I currently run with and a lack of grunt is currently more of an issue to me than a lack of memory. Sorry, I've just forgotten what I was saying there.

space_cowboy Does it have grunt expansion slots? I have a grunt VSTi. It grunts over 8 octaves but uses lots of CPU.

Nice. Are there any tweaks for performance you're considering, or will this keep you happy at factory settings?

will this keep you happy at factory settings? Probably until the warranty runs out.... Hey I'm running an AMD 4000+ X2 just now, I think I might just notice a little improvement as is...
