I can see for those just going to upgrade this is quite a decision, but I got a 4600+ processor here and it's likely to take me quite a bit further down the road. If anything I have a gfx card bottleneck that can be slightly improved just throwing in a $90 7600 GT and going SLI. With 2 x16 slots it's pretty rocking with SLI. I think if I went/go SLI then I think all my slowdown I get in games with high details would likely vanish but my current solution is working great. It's going to be interesting because it appears my next cpu upgrade would likely be a quad-core...Hehehe...wonder what the prices of those will be in 1.5-2years?

Why would anyone want 800MHz ram when there is in excess of 1GHz avail today.. Most motherboards state or just support faster. My ram is currently running at 997/998MHz right now...and what's it matter what it looks like? it's barely visible when installed on the mobo....I don't get it. Weird thrills for everyone I guess..
