This is how I plan to upgrade my PC:

wait until Doom 3 ships,
see what their recommended hardware is,
buy that. that should last me two or three years.

Though, if I buy that 15" powerbook, well, that's what I'll stick with for the near future.

The more, the marrier!

I’d take your current machine and run Linux on it as a desktop, then run ‘dows on the new one. Windows still has better games than Linux. ;)

Also, if you’d like me to spec out a machine for you, let me know. I’ll give you a list of part numbers. :p

Hey, wait! I have additional computers already! They’re just slower, that’s all.

I’d go with a new motherboard and proc. In doing so, you’ll probably have to upgrade the memory to DDR. :/

Oh well. Sounds like time for an additional computer. :p

Re: the first

Holy crap!
Man, I need to get into flying (well, back into sim-flying, and then into flyign).

Re: the second

What are you looking for, in the general sense? Radeon 9000 isn’t fantastic, but if all you’re doing is flight sims, probably sufficient. Really, the only thing that seems behind the times is the processor.
