Here and there
I've currently got an AMD skt939 DDR pc I'm thinking about upgrading, is it worth doing now or is there something around the corner to wait for?

If I was to upgrade now could someone please spec me SLi mobo/cpu/RAM for £250-300. I would not be overclocking as this is a silent media/gaming pc ;)

Thx

If you want SLI then I would wait for the upcomming new Nvidia 750, 780 and 790 boards which aren't too long away (November mid-month).

Cheers it looks like I'll wait a bit.
Do you think its worth waiting for DDR3 as I see Nvidias c/set for that should be released in January.
Not at the moment no. DDR3 is far to expensive and not much of a speed increase from DDR2 to be worth it at the moment, and it's hard to say when the prices will drop and new and better DDR3 will appear. I'm guessing probably Q3 '08 but it's a tough thing to guess. If it were me I wouldn't wait though and I'd just go with DDR2.
