So I subscribed to PC hardware forum hoping to see lots of DIY threads and people asking for help. Instead I see many posts about someones over the top upgrade. There is no follow on with some game fps or 3D rendering times and subjective feelings. Just boasting along the lines of "Look how big my one is!"
I'm afraid the obsession with 'keeping up with jones' is still rife in the PC enthusiast. If I got a 6 core i7 my reaction would be "Is that all. My Amiga 2000 could dazzle me with 3 second boots and fast file compression 20 years ago."
What do you think?
