On the face of it that's good advice - except that someone in my position with a below recommended-spec dual core setup that I know won't run the game that well - is faced with spending the 3 most exciting months in the life of this new series being frustrated and annoyed at either bad fps OR low quality screens while everyone else raves about how amazing the game is.

You only get to experience the newness once - why have it messed up when you can do something about it?

Also - I'm taking an educated guess (bet!) that Bulldozer won't actually threaten the SB position as top dog - floating point implementation and no or little benefit from the extra cores for gaming

And yes - patience probably isn't my strong point.
