Couldn't see throwing out this recent gig of Corsair XMS DDR RAM yet nor my excellent AGP ATI X850XT. Plus I was wanting to go cheap.... real cheap! :laugh:
I should be cashflowing better in a few months so then I can throw down on whatever is best motherboard-wise but honestly, the idea of spending $270 for a mobo is out of my way of thinking. I've never spent more than $100 for a mobo and ain't about to start.
My biggest processing issue is encoding. And this upgrade should help that. Shouldn't hurt my gaming although my gaming is not an issue with my LCD limited at 1280x1024.
I will update when the parts show up and I get it all together.
$300 for a Conroe upgrade over my old Northwood HT seems like a bargain right now. :beer:
