This is my system ..............

Hp pavillion a1626n,Although the only original part is the motherboard as i have upgraded eveything else i think.

3gb 0f pc 4200
amd 64 x2 5400
8800 gts 640 mb
sound blaster extreme music x-fi
250 gb hd
plus a new case.

One of the reasons i wanted to upgrade the mobo was if i got a sli board they are a bit bigger and allow more room between video cards and sound cards,for better cooling,As it is right now my video card is about a inch or 2 above the sound card which isnt good for airflow.The second reason was i cant see the temps for my cpu as the bios do not support it.Make no mistake this pc runs silenthunter without a hitch.Just looking to improve as i know us hardcore gamers are always looking for the next best thing.

Oh ya i have upgraded the cpu as i have said to a 64 x2 5400 as hp said its as far as was tested,Iwas wondering if i could use a 64 x2 6000 2mb cache,Anyone try that on a pavillion a1626n .or can it be done?

Thanks guys.
