I have a AMD 64 3000+ and an nvidea 6600GT, and have been considering upgrading my graphics card to one of the 7900GT cards. Would I be better off upgrading my CPU before doing this, as it is also quite out of date and I think it would hold my graphics card back a lot if I upgraded.

Ok my computer is stable at 2.5GHz under load. Any further increce in FSB creates minor instability, however this could be fixed if my mobo allowed me to set my V-core higher than 1.55v.
Do you think I should bother trying to flash my bios, or is my processor decent enough for the 7900GT?

I hope they relese another update to fix this, because the board was supposed to be good for overclocking.Asus probe shows 42C at idle and 52C under load. Im quite sure thats well within safe limits for my processor. I think I have a good case cooling system, and if the CPU temp was too high I think I would have noticed some abnormalities by now.
It would have been nice to have a higher voltage, not only for now but if I did go for a better cooling solution I could have pushed my chip much further.
