    lol exactly, £200 buys you a DS3 and an E6400.

    Then sell current motherboard/CPU/RAM and get 2GB DDR2 for £60 and a PCI-E 7950GT for £115

    lol he has a 7800GS AGP currently, that would fetch a fiar bit on ebay

    if you wanna stay on the same socket for now you should try and get a pci-e board. then it'll be cheaper. lets see a8n32 deluxe costs about £90 and you can get a 8600gt for £99, much less than that card. then you can sell your card and that mobo. sure its not as good as a c2d upgrade but its much cheaper and keeping with the same socket.

    well for £50 more you could have the 8800 instead of 8600, as for bottlenecking. im not so sure. it will be bottlenecked at stock cpu speeds. you might not notice it, but if u oced the cpu then it'd reduce the bottleneck.

    Here is what I would personally do and what I suggest....






















    Do nothing. Wait for penryn . Then change the lot.

    Unless your looking for something to replace a broken part then there is no need or point to spend the money on "upgrading" anything in your current system. Your throwing money away. Your system will more than last untill penryn comes out.

    seems like artifacting to me. try rma'ing it if its still in warranty. and also about the bottlenecking. i forgot i said about getting an am2 system for that £200. if you got an am2 system and sold your agp card and used the money from it to buy a 8800gts it wouldnt really bottleneck it. as for waiting for penryn. you'll wait for it then probably wont get it because of its price. although you could get the cpu's down the range as they'd probably drop in price. but its up to you. socket am2 is compatible with am3 cpu's when they come out. as for intel its new mobo for each new type of cpu although same socket.

    The first Penryns should work in current Core2Duo motherboards according to Intel.....We will not know until they are out though.

    AMD say AM3 will work in AM2 but again, we will never know until they are available.
