I bet it cost you a packet at the time, but in retrospect I’m sure you’ll agree that it was money well spent. I’m also sure you’ll be disappointed at the relative minor increase in gaming performance you’d get from a more modern quad-core setup. I ‘d suggest waiting for SandyBridge-e early next year, as it would most likely give you a similar experience. High-end gaming for over 4 years on a single platform is not easily achieved – or cheap either. It’s probably only Intel hexa-core users that are currently in a similar position.
