yes I know what you guys are thinking make the abit mobo system my main gamming rig, but (BUT!) its going to cut into wow time, and thats a mighty big no!
I am lazy, I hate to think ...unless its about haha you know, and my decisions are largely based on how soon I can get back to wow, even now I am neglecting the game.....oh mad!
