Dann, from the sound of it, your better off just buying/building a new pc. Chances are you will be very limited if your using a 5 year old motherboard along with the outdated powersupply. I get a discount from microsoft so im not worry about the cost, plus I plan to finally going dual core however, I really like to skip dual and jump into quad core. The 850 dollar is another issue let along the price drop in Q2
yea problem is, im a student, have a laptop, and no money for a new pc. Option 1: BUT what i am doing now is this: ive already got a new power supply ( my second PC PS died so i swapped this one, and bought a new and better one for a GREAT price!) im thinking of either purchasing a new motherboard OR a new CPU. the rest are still pretty good! ill get more RAM and a video card. ** this is only when parts are cheap, and i have money. Option 2 (which i am currently using): simply use my XP pro, and add a vista transformation pack!! =DDD simple as that. LOL thats just temporary until option one is done. (the new UI really makes you think you have Vista)
im gonna wait till service pack one comes out cause we all know how horrible things can be on opening day
