Default Is it going to take another 5 years?
I was way impressed with my winnie 3200 back in the day. XP OS

Was loving my phenom II AMD x4 920 even with CnQ enabled

I was completely impressed with Core i7 the first time I ran it. Had the speed+ of core2 and the snappiness of AMD.

I am buying more and more HW (of course.. i am a HW junkie) and am not impressed anymore and totally regret selling my "antiquated" system that "felt" so much better than my modern ones.

Is it all OS choice? Is 64 bit that much better than 32bit? Or am I just becoming too jaded? Hell I think my 4.7GHz core i7 920 with 1900 MHz 7-7-7 ram is slow and unresponsive. (Benchmarks say otherwise... but it still "feels" wrong).

Not impressed so far with 890 chipset for AMD either.. feels slower.. like im running a c2d for crying out loud. God I miss my AM2+ 920 setup running at 900MHz it totally kicked either of these setups ASS at desktop usage.
