I am considering upgrade of my "low-end" s775 system - E5200, Intel P45, geForce 9600GT.
I don't need high-end components, just slightly increase performance, add virtualization support etc...
The shortest way is to pick up some E6500 PDC / E7500 (SLGTE) C2D with virtualization support and higher frequencies and nV GTS250, which is the 55nm revision of famous G92 GPU.
Is it worth those money? I dont see any sense to upgrade to AM2+/AM3, because Phenom II architecture became on par with C2D, which is CPU I already have, and C2D have better power and temperature qualities.
Phenoms II are also far behind Core i5/i7, so I think in case of huge upgrade, it make a sense to go Intel way too.
Appreciate any suggestions.
