I am still using a P4 3.0 Ghz Prescott overclocked to 4.0 Ghz and a AGP motherboard. I got a new video card last year, an ATI X1950Pro 512MB.
My system has 2 GB of DDR dual channel memory, 2 WD hard disks in RAID 0 config.
I can play most games still on "high" settings, but I really would love to see DirectX10 and the games on "FULL/MAX" settings.
Is this a good time to buy a new PC and put it together technology wise, or is something big around the corner? I don't want to waste my cash if there is going to be some new CPU or GPU out soon, or a revision of DirectX10, etc.
Any info would be much appreciated as I have been out of the tech loop for a couple years now.
Thanks!
