Help meh with new computer por favor...

And the fact that anyone is suggesting waiting 2 months for another set of CPUs to hit the market is retarded! If you kept waiting for new tech to come out your computer would NEVER BE BUILT! lol. You would just sit there with a case and wait forever.

You have no idea. This set of CPU's isn't just a simple upgrade, it's a fucking new architect. Get a mobo that supports Haswell and the move to Skylake and possibly Skymont and you are good to go for a few years. Getting an i7 in the current 1155 socket instead of waiting for Haswell in the 1150 socket with potential for future upgrades is asinine. You sir, should just leave.

Okay, that would be great if the client wanted to wait a few months, I'm not sure in this case if she has that luxury. But it's still stupid to suggest in the IT market to wait a few months for a piece of technology that isn't even tested. 3rd gen i7 > 1st gen Haswell. 1st gen anything will have issues and the i7 can and will handle anything thrown at it.

With all that said it's still stupid to wait, if every enterprise level IT group waited until the new tech came out, they would be waiting FOREVER! Three places I work with right now that all work at an enterprise level are JUST NOW getting windows 2008 rolled out to all their servers. Not all are even updated. This isn't just one major company this is THREE. So should I just stop them and tell them to wait til 2012? No, 2008 is tested and it works and is now ready to be released.

Now I know this isn't enterprise level. But even if I was asked to spec out new computers now for my clients I would stay with the trusted i7 rather then asking them to wait a few months.
When suggesting things to clients where YOUR money is not being used Trusted > New. Any fucking day.

Why not offer all available options to your supposed clients? Some consumers prefer to be informed of all their options including new technologies.

carm gets pissed when her shit stops working. i'd recommend the more reliable option.

[Steamer]

Yeah, cause getting that "reliable" Pentium D over the duo would have been smart.... Sure, ok. You suggested a POS power supply, at that point anything suggested further would have been ignored by anyone with any know how. The shit is tested, Google buddy.

[Patmonster]

Alright BUDDY, that "POS Power Supply" was for a $1000 build and only FOR THAT BUILD. read.

2nd, NOOOOTTTHHHINNNGGG first gen is ever tested fully. It can't be. There will be issues and that's the fact of life. Their small trial runs will never be able to compair to real life testing.

How about this, in the military when they are at the final stages of tested products they give a platoon of soldier that product to "have at it." The reason being is to see the different ways shit breaks. For example, a gas mask may work great as a gas mask but the moment that soldier jumps out a plane, will it be able to survive impact? Will it survive a week of being used as a pillow? Will it survive being thrown in and out of a truck. Then when they have all that info they refine the product and guess what, IT STILL BREAKS! First gen shit can not be tested until it is given to a large enough croud.

That processor is going to have hell thrown at it the first few months it's out. Shit will break, there will be modifications and then a more reliable 2nd gen will come out soon.


If you can't understand why giving untested products to someone that isn't ready to deal with them is a bad idea then you should NEVER deal with PR or customer support, ever. You may know the raw info about a product but you gotta look at who it's going to as well.
