O boy I'm in a bit of a pickle here.
First of all its been decided that I'm going to buy a Opteron 165 for my CPU.
This is where the problem comes.
I currently have a 6800 vanilla in my system.
Option 1:
Opteron 165
6800
AsRock Dual SATA2 Mobo
Option 2:
Opteron 165
New PCI-e Video Card
DFI Mobo
**Basically the only thing holding me back from option 1 is the overclockability of the AsRock Mobo**
The second option sure sounds nice to my ears, but makes my wallet cower. I would really like to not spend that much money for a whole new CPU, GPU, AND Mobo.
The only thing I worry about with the AsRock, is that its OC is sub-par to DFI's and im thinking i wont be getting my moneys worth on the OC of the Opteron.
But, on the other hand, the AsRock allows me to have my AGP card and have an optional PCI-e slot ready for when I get the money.
What should I do?
Other specs
1 GB (512x2) Crucial Ballistix
80 GB Seagate HDD
Forton 550W
SB Audigy2 ZS
