If you were really concerned with the HDD read speed bottleneck you could get away with a much cheaper 10,000RPM HDD instead. Also 12GB of RAM is overkill, unless you plan on running a slideshow and have 15 IE windows running at the same time as Crysis. |
You could do a hell of a lot more than that. I know someone who plays COD4 on their workstation all while running two virtual machines.
12gb of ram would be useful in a video or photo editing environment though.
When you invest in a car and keep it in good condition for long enough, it can gain value. Not so for PC builds. Absolutely true. I recently saw an old SGI workstation from the mid 90s going for $12 on Craigslist. That same workstation was over 9 grand new.
