I've always been in the camp of holding off major upgrades untill you really need them. After getting the A-10 Beta I decided to upgrade from my e8500(@3.6Ghz) to a q9400 CPU. (Don't know why I didn't go for a quad core when I bult my PC???)
Now with my new quad core purring along at 3.6Ghz there is a noticable improvement with ROF and A10 seems to have a few less stutters.
Hopefully this will keep me happy till SOW gets released. Then I'll get a more modern graphics card and see what the performance is like before upgrading further.
Cheers!
