well.... Upgrading is not inside my plans right now. And even i would, the best CPU i could buy (at least were i am ) is a 8400 at 2.66 which is not a very big diffrence i suppose. I could also choose buying duo at 3+ but i dont want to go to duos. Unfortunately my mobo takes LGA 775 which makes my choices fairly limited. So we would say that maybe an upgrade is not a solution. Maybe if i was to buy a new pc from the start. And all these because intel has the tendency of releasing new sockets so you wont be able to upgrade properly and be forced to buy a new pc but thats another story. The point is that since i am stuck with this pc i should probably stay away from a10 till i get a new pc....
