I'd personally have gone for the virgin sacrifices, but whatever floats your boat. I guess as long as you aren't asking for virgin goats, because that might be for some creepy use... | ||

And as to whether it's worth the wait, that depends on what you need, when you need it, and whether you're psychic/precognitive to be able to tell what specs will actually be instead of what the marketing hype is saying they might be. | ||

Really. I ask a simple question that skyR answers perfectly but you have to be a smart ass about it. Of course google has a great idea. This is what makes this forum so great. People like skyR give me the exact answer I want. If everyone replied with an answer basically saying go and use Google, then this forum would be completely pointless. And as far as when I need a new PC and what I need etc. is beside the point. I just wanted to know some accurates dates. And thanks to skyR for giving me the exact answer I was looking for | ||

And thanks to skyR for giving me the exact answer I was looking for Seeing as to post a topic, you click a check box that says you already tried searching, (and the rules say to do so if you don't post one) maybe you should try not acting like a crybaby when someone points out that you're lazy? If someone asks a reasonable question, I'll happily give them a functional answer. Anyways, you still don't know if it's better to wait, so that stuff isn't beside the point. | ||

No, I read the computer build resource thread fairly often (obviously not enough to know future release dates) and therefore i just used the Tech Support on the left of the TL page. And I new that someone would be able to answer my question with ease from this thread. And since this thread is about informing people about computer information I don't see what was lazy about my post. I asked something that not only resulted in increasing my knowledge, but other people may read this also and realise that they should maybe wait a while to build a PC if it isn't urgent. | ||

I asked something that not only resulted in increasing my knowledge, but other people may read this also and realise that they should maybe wait a while to build a PC if it isn't urgent. There's always new tech coming out eventually, this is common knowledge. The relative value of waiting is impossible to know for sure. Ever. You just got butthurt because I put as much effort into answering you as you put into finding out for yourself, and made it clear that's what I was doing. You chose to get hostile as a response to that, instead of maybe taking it as a lesson learned. And given that you could have found the information for yourself in less or equal time to skyR's response, asking so you didn't have to enter a few search terms does in fact count as lazy. It wasn't an in-depth, complicated question where finding the correct answers requires specific knowledge. | ||
