Well at the moment i have the following specs
Q6600 ( B3 ) @ 3.05 "everyday" i think it could go up to 3.3 everyday if i was less concerned about heat. it overclocks nicely
Asus P5k-E Wifi
2Gb Crucial Ballistix ( standard Pc6400 overclocked )
Hd 2900xt 800/1900 everyday.
hx520
Vista 32bit (another annouying factor)
so at the moment i am abit lost as to where to upgrade too, the options are
1) buy new motherboard and ebay the P5k (get ether a nice X38 or X48), this means i can go for a pair of 4850's or hd4870x2 or something along those lines.
2) 2gb new ram ( its only £35 and hopefully from reading that article it will help solve some of the microstuttering and load times for some games)
3) get a 9800GX2 or 3870X2 and wack it into the PCIE1.1 slot and hope for the best
4) wait for nahelam and x58 and sell motherboard etc just before its out and get that along wtih other upgrades!
5) * take on your idea *
i'm open to suggestions ( i am even considering this Q6600 G0, P5E3 , 4Gb DDR3 for £300 and sell all my kit )
