Posting Mad!
This is the last question I shall ask on this thread! Yay I'll finally be out of everyone's hair! xD
Anywho, final hours within buy-time, and I've come across a small blip.
I can get a Quad-core setup for substantially less than my Hexa-core or my Octa-Core.
The flipside is that the Hexa and Octa have less RAM (4GB) to slightly compensate for the cost of an SSD (for fast boot, which I really don't care about but feel it'd be nice to have) and of course the better CPU.
Really, when it boils down to it, these are my main questions:
How far would a Quad AMD (3.4GHz) take me without needing to upgrade?
And
Is it possible to legally change what drive Windows (Seven) boots to? Assuming the disk is single-install.
Currently I have a Dual (Quad w/ Hyperthreading, which, doesn't do much as I have 4GB RAM) at 2.5GHz, and 4GB RAM (and a 250GB 5200RPM, ~34 second boot time)
Reason I'm making a rather big deal out of a no-brainer, is because I need to know if it'd be worth it to sacrifice stuff (RAM, storage) for a Hexa or Octa CPU, or, if I'd be a-okay to go with a Quad and not have to upgrade for a while (2+ years)
