All thanks to Intel who's releasing a new core processor every year. My core 2 duo will last me another 4-5 years before I consider upgrading.
It's called progress. You want them to stop developing better, faster and more efficient processors because you can't afford them? No one is forcing you to upgrade, I'm running an old Opteron processor and still doing pretty well.
Yes because I was really complaining about prices and not being able to afford anything.
Oh wait, I didn't.
