OK. If this posts twice, it's not my fault... The page went blank the first time and I don't think it posted...
Anywho, I'm getting tired of my Athlon 3500+ and it's slowness to everything I try to do with it nowadays. So I figure I would upgrade it a little bit...
I'll be switching over to an Intel system, as the Core 2's pounded the crap out of the Athlons.
Canada Computers - Motherboards > Socket LGA775/T : Asus P5KPL-VM Socket 775 Intel G31 + ICH7 Dual Channel DDR2 800/667Mhz Intel GMA 3100 GigaLAN 6-Ch HD Audio Support Intel Core 2 Duo / Core 2 Quad Micro ATX.
Canada Computers - Memory > Desktop Memory > DDR2 800 PC2-6400+ : OCZ (OCZ2P800R22GK) DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz Platinum XTC Revision 2 2GB (2x1024MB) Dual Channel Kit.
Canada Computers - CPU > Desktop Intel Processors : Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 Socket LGA775, 2.4 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache, 65nm (Retail Box) (BX80557E4600).
It's just a Mobo, CPU, and RAM upgrade. All-in-all, a pretty cheap ($320, $290 after MIR to be exact) upgrade.
If anyone can suggest a better upgrade for a reasonable price, I'm open to suggestions.
P.S. I'll be purchasing the parts on my next pay cheque, which is next Thursday, so I have until then to decide.
