I don't think there's any reason for people to upgrade every 6 months. I'm still
running a P3 733 MHz. Since I bought it two and a half years ago, the only thing
I've added is a second CPU, just to play around with SMP chess stuff. Even for
playing online 3D games, I experience no performance lag. I really don't see a
reason to upgrade, unless I was running a server that was having a hard time
keeping up, or something like that.
