Time for a New Processor

[slayt12]

Right now I have an AMD 3500 with an ASUS A8N-E Mb. I am fed up with the Mb so i am going to buy a new one. Should i stick with my 939 or get a new Mb for a Core Duo? Money is not an issue. I need something good for high-end gaming.

I would get a new mobo and GPU and CPU for good gaming

amd x2 4200
Nvidia 7600gt
MSI mobo

Wait for conroe. ;-) If you want it now go for a new 939 board. If you just have to have a new processor now go for the 3800 or 165 and overclock. What kind of video card do you have?

Depends, do you plan on overclocking?

ok if we are talking high end gaming your most important upgrade will be the gpu. go with the ati 1900 series or nvidia 7900 series

I'd follow Robertk's advice and wait for conroe. Your current system isn't so crap that you need an immediate upgrade.
