Dude! I'm getting a dell!" :rotfl:

My bottleneck is arguably my entire system. Its old. I didnt realize how old tell i started looking at the newer standards. I can't upgrade my video card, its an AGP port. 7800 GS is as high as Nvidia goes, unless i want to go back to ATI, and even then its not going to be all that and a bag of chips. Then theres the ram. 2 Gigs of .. well its not DDR2, lets put it that way. I think its PC2100 ram, not sure. Oh, and as im sure you guessed, the Mobo is a socket 939. Which it seems is old and busted and definatly not the new hotness.

Once i realized id never get a new video card in this box, i started pricing parts, and it all went downhill from there. New mobo, new vid card, new ram, new CPU.... i mean.. ****.. i may as well buy a new computer. Dell's prefab as it turns out, is cheaper then building a new box. *sigh*

DON'T BUY A DELL! Crud. You are going downhil faster than a garbage can in a storm! :hmm:
