Thanks to advancements in design and fabrication process, the upgrades
you're likely get this quarter won't be as expensive as the ones early birds
had to make early this year - though they are about the same in performance.
For example, the GeForce 8800GT will cost less than the GeForce 8800GTS,
offer more features (a universal video decoder much like the ones on
NVIDIA's GeForce 8600 series), but offer performance close to or even
surpassing the 'old' GeForce 8800GTS. Intel's latest dual core Wolfdale and
quad core Yorkfield will offer slightly more performance - rough estimates
is about 5 to 10 percent faster - with much better thermal dissipation and
performance per watt. It also helps that the quad core Yorkfield will only
cost between US$ 250 to 300 -about the same price as the Core 2 Duo was when it was first announced.
