CPU prices plummet

[Browser]

How can you say Q9550 would be waisting my money? Im surely securing myself for whatever applications and games are coming in the future right? hmmmm
If im truely waisting my money, then wtf is the point in trying to keep up? :/

I don't think it's worth it for the average user or for a gamer. Unless you're using specialised applications that thrive on more CPU cores it's a waist of money. Currently there's dual core CPUs costing about R1600+ that compete with a Q6600 costing about R2700+ (prices on the sites I've checked recently) in games.

So unless you're doing something that's going to really take advantage of all the cores (probably video and work related) it's a waist of money. Besides if you can blow R3000+ for a CPU, you may as well go with the newer i7's on a new platform as it will have a longer lifespan.

Don't see the point in your questions since they're asking something that I pointed out. To add to all those points, do you seriously think paying a high price for a CPU you're not going to fully utilise (buy the sound of it) on a platform that's reaching it's end of line is future proofing it? Also in the future, when such CPUs are more worthwhile, they will be alot cheaper with better performance. If you don't see any of the problems there, I'm sorry I bothered to help.

Sorry, I didn't know you were a teenager and would take it that way, I won't try help in future.

in the future you will just grow a few more computing cells.....
