Yeah I'm working on it :) Should have a Canon 60D by the end of the month.

You need to step back and really understand some thing before making your choice. I love computers, I love working on them I love tweaking them and all that. But once I got into the field of doing it for money I realized there is no way I would want to take beyond just a hobby. Just because you are interested in some thing doesn't mean its what you should do as a career. You should learn more about computers, and do some thing similar to what Nate does. Offer your services on craigslist and see if its really some thing you want to get into. If you still enjoy it after that then yeah get CompTIA certified and a degree. But you should explore it way more before being like. Oh hey I enjoy working on my computer I will do that for the rest of my life. Its a huge decision and shouldn't be made lightly.

That really doesn't make that much difference. You might see some speed increment in highly multi-threaded applications, but I hardly think that it would make the i7's that much faster. Sure, the Core i7 is ~10-20% faster clock-for-clock than the Phenom II's, but the Phenom II's can also level with them in some areas. Basically, I would be paying around four times more for a rather small increase in overall system performance. Therefor, when I have the choice between an AMD Phenom II X6 for $180 or an Intel i7 for $880, I think the AMD Phenom II would win my choice every time.

Sure, the i7 might be more elegant, but you have to pay for such elegance. And since I'm a rather poor college student, I don't think an $880 processor would be in my budget.

The i7 is up to 80% faster in multi-threaded apps. I don't care your reasons for buying what you bought just don't compare to CPU's that aren't comparable.

I won't use it all that much for video processing, but I will use it for compiling code, running virtual machines, and college related projects. I kinda wish I had bought more ram, though. Overall, it is still a huge step over what I had. Windows 7 with only 2GB of ram was starting to slowly kill me. Everything now is more responsive, and I don't find myself waiting for the hard drive to swap out memory anymore. Simply put, I'm happy with my AMD hardware, and it was a whole lot cheaper than a 6-core Intel part. I'm hoping this upgrade will last at least until I graduate in about 3 and a half years. I know my old AMD Opteron 165 lasted me about 4 years, and hopefully this one will do the same.  :)

Cheaper cause you have 6 cores and 6 threads.....the intel "counter part" as you called it has 6 cores and runs 12 threads. You can't compare them or call them "counter parts" because they aren't even in the same class.

It could also be your harddrive.

I had it on a tri-pod but when you are doing long exposures like that its really hard to stay still when its 20F degrees.

Sounds like you're dropping fps. I use to get the same thing. The settings might be to high for your gpu. Pull up fraps or some thing to see your fps when it happens versus your fps normally.

The one I was using had that same feature but it was so cold all the photos where turning out blurry.

Its possible with a telescope and camera mount. Pretty much you turn the telescope into a HUGE lens. But it costs a lot.
