If you had to put a % on the overall performance boost over the old computer, what would it be? 5%, 10%...... etc.

Old computer (look in rig link below)


New computer

MB: Intel P45 (intel brand) when it's released.

Mem: 2048 Mushkin ddr2800/pc6400 4-4-4-12 (996603)

You already have a core duo 2.4 GHz, so moving to 3.0 GHz won't make much difference for games and no difference at all for office apps, email web.

The video card will help a bit, especially if you wait for the GTX+.

Aisde from upgrade fever, what reasons are you thinking of doing this for?
