Like I said in another comment, in my opinion, a 2006 (intro of a intel's c2d) computer with 8gigs of ram + an SSD was pretty much the last time your average programmer saw any appreciable gains on the desktop.
Things _have_ moved forward since then, especially if your are multi-thread/core sensitive. For everyone else, even at 8-10hours a day, I'm not sure it'd be considered a great investment for such incremental improvements.

- fsvehla 15y agoSo true. After the recent SSD upgrade, I can't ever imagine what could be that much better to warrant the next notebook upgrade. Maybe I should get into gaming ;)
