nah! imma skip ivy nlng. haswell nlng ako kai mrag bago ra jd akong sandy sayang sd eheheh

ang ivy moy pinakabag-o nga achitecture sa intel, unlike sa sandy nga mura ra sa core based design with built in GPU. sure ko ang haswell will be similar architecture sa ivy.

but of course, kung bag-o paka nag gasto para sa imong sandy karon, then it would be practically best to stay out from ivy then upgrade when haswell comes.
