New System Build Soon
I’ve been planning a new custom PC for a while and it finally seems to be the right time to build it. The quad core Intel Q6600 has dropped significantly in price and has become a great value considering the performance you’re getting from a sub-$300 CPU (that’s also highly overclockable). While a majority of programs and games are not multi-threaded, the quad is great for multi-tasking and content creation. I multi-task a lot and I use Photoshop everyday (which IS multi-threaded) so I’ve decided to get the Q6600. More programs will become multi-threaded so the quad will hold strong for quite a while.
I Need A 19-inch LCD Monitor
I can’t wait to get a 19″ LCD monitor. My current monitor is a 15″ LCD and it’s just too small and too old. I’m waiting until the holiday season kicks in at full speed so I can get a good deal. I might wait until after Christmas to get a clearance deal. Don’t know yet, I’m just going to see what kind of discounts come up. I would really benefit from a larger monitor. When I’m doing web or graphic design work, it really helps if I have a larger resolution and larger workspace. I’d also be able to enjoy movies, TV shows, and video games more. So I see it as a pretty worthwhile investment.
