Do you own the computer you want or are you always behind?

Right now I own a P4, but I really want to own a Core Duo. The problem with computers is that they are literally going obsolete before you get them home out of the box. Do you have the one that you want?

I am also lagging behind. I am still using a P3 800 MHz and it is quite slow. But as I mainly use it for studies (programming,reports) and for surfing on the internet, I am satisfied. But I will buy a P4 Core Duo soon with 160 GB hard disk, 1 GB RAM n with broadband internet....because I am on dial-up currently. :)

I got my compaq laptop in August, and I love it. It does what I want, and has all the programs that I want. I'm not going to upgrade just because marketing says I need to....I'm going to wait till this thing falls apart. That's why I got the new computer...my old one fell apart.

Good answer. I always want to upgrade, but it's partly because my kids jam my puter with stuff that slows it down.

I'm always behind on this. I usually keep my computer until it eventually gets too old to run anything. And that's the only time I upgrade.

That's what I would like. I usually keep it until I can afford another one which right now is going to be a very long time.

I own a compaq presario, only have 256MB ram on it though so it can't really play the good games (like guild wars, etc.) without constant lag... and I bought a video card and some more ram for it for Xmas but I STILL cant get the thing to work :( and the RAM was the wrong type

*Sigh* I don't think human beings can ever be happy.
