Core 2 Duo E4300 @ 3.4GHz
ATI/AMD X1950 Pro (I'll upgrade when someone introduces a true mid-level card)
2 GB Patriot 6400 DDR
Giga-byte GA-965DS rev 3.3
XP SP2 (I'll upgrade to Vista when it has gaming performance on par with xp or DX10 proves itself)

Total cost was about $500 8 months ago and it's super fast because of the o/c. I've since added 1 TB of sata storage and a zalman cooler.

@totalwar23 You should see if you can o/c that cpu. It'll go a whole lot faster than stock speed. Half-height cards aren't any slower than normal cards. Also, try getting firefox and seeing if you are still browsing slowly.

For new computers, has anyone considered waiting to see how Penryn (Intel) vs. Barcelona (AMD) turns out?

Nope. AMD is always a better choice.

Anything above $140 for a processor and AMD is sunk. Either their solution is overpriced (6000+ = E6550), or they simply don't have a workable one (E6750, E6850, Q6600, Q6700, QX6800). Barcelona is looking to be better than Penryn though.

Errr....even in the face of the fact that Penryn (as well as the core2duo offerings) are more future proof, better performing, and better OCers?

AMD has had some great products, I'm not saying that they haven't, but processor fanboyism is even sillier than console fanboyism.

Currently a laptop
CoreDuo - 2.16ghz
ATI 1600 256mb
2gb 667mhz crucial RAM
120gb 7200rpm HDD

I'm currently debating wether or not to make a new PC during the fall refresh and take my pick of an updated R600 or g80. I might just hold off till g90 and choose whichever AMD or Intel offers the best bang.

Built this September '06. *at the time* this was high-highend...

CPU- Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4Ghz
GPU - ATI Radeon X1900XT 512MB
RAM - 2GB Corsair DDR2-800
Mobo - Gigabyte DS3

I bet I can build something the same performance or better for under 2/3 of what I payed back then. Damn PC parts and their fast dropping prices...
DEFINATELY going mid-highend on my next build

crappy old school NES games are more entertaining than next-gen games.

E6550 (less clock speed more FSB) now $179 X1900XT $200 You could probably get that for $800 now what with the cheap memory prices.
