i have been waiting for prices to drop on a dual cpu system for 3 years now. i really wanted intel cos my other pc's are athlons. but i dont want the cheaper celeron solutions... and just when the prices of an dual intel dropped until it was affordable for me 64bit dual systems came out.... and i dont want a dual 32bit now if i can have 64bit to play with
so i am still waiting on purchasing a dual cpu linux system to program on:(
But what i didnt wait for many years ago was spending every penny i had on a 486DX2 66Mhz system to play DOOM on. Then i realized i needed a soundcard to really enjoy DOOM so i worked overtime to buy a very expensive soundblaster pro.
sure i could have waited until pentium systems with 32 bits soundcards became out but i have to ensure you i had fun right from the beginning and i am still happy i did experience the DOOM period
DOOM3 seems worth it to replace my current Geforce 3 with a newer graphics card, the rest of my system is into spec.
go ahead and wait a year to buy a new system but by that time DOOM3 might not be as fun to play as it would be next month (with all the media attention of the game, friends discussing gameplay, etc.)
