I play lots of games and am planning on getting some current ones around christmas (ARMAII, etc.)
CPU is a socket AM2 AMD64 x2 5000+
Board is just AM2 not AM2+ even though apparently you can drop in a AM2+ CPU but it sort of downgrades it.
Very interested in this socket AM3.

How much more "oomph" can I get if I get the following; Right now games like in GTA 4 / ARMAII, I feel very CPU limited. Feel even CPU limited in ARMAI and older games at times...
Video card is a ATI 4850 , which should have plenty of power
windows XP (but might just bump up to the windows 7 RC)
2GB Ram
