I've moved to single boxing for now due to money / time (I can barely manage 2 hours a week at the moment so seems a waste). However now that I've proved to myself I can't keep up with the heavy drinking anymore, that time is being freed up

I've been 5 boxing previously with the following specs:

Core 2 duo 2.33
8 gig ram
GEForce 8500 512mb
win7 64bit
7200 HDD
and ISBoxer / keyclone

Now I know these are not the recommended settings and many of you will scoff at such an ancient monument, however it has worked up to patch 4.xx (I stopped 5-boxing 5 months ago). I was getting 30fps in most places on main (15 on slaves through innerspace)

So do you think this will still work at minimum specs, and will Cata require something more heavy duty?

Finally, and most importantly, is it worth waiting for Intel's new chip in Q1 next year before buying a new system?
