Yeah so, a month or so later, ifnally decided to upgrade. I went with an AMD in the end, because that was the best deal I was being offered. Going to an AMD 3.0 ghz processor, and new motherboard with 512 mb of DDRAM, for like $350. All this, just to play stupid World of Warcraft.
On my other PC right now, waiting for it to get back so I can enjoy the downfall of my social life
