    Hi All,
    I am planning on upgrading my computers. I am a heavy PC user using it for my programming tasks and other multiple task and local servers but unfortunately I do not know much about hardware profiles. Which of these systems will be best for me?

    I would also go for Intel i7 if only if I have nothing to do for my hard earned money. The processor is great but expensive.

    If you are not brain washed with "Intel Inside", Six-Core AMD Opteronâ„¢ Processor is a fantastic processor. :D

    (Cheaper than Intel but excellent for programmers and game players)

    Quad-Core AMD Opteronâ„¢ Processor is also great.

    Whatever processor don't forget to find the right motherboard and fix at least 2 GB RAM with a High Speed SATA HD.

    The i5 is out now. It's a less-expensive quad core solution to the i7.

    just go for i7 if you have the money,
    otherwise core 2 quad is another option.
    dont go below that.. :)

    The I7 like mentioned above is good but way too expensive. I'd just do with the Core 2 Quad processor.

    don't bother with any of them! Go for the Core I7, it blows away all the competition!
