    Help...........My 939 Rig needs a Kickstart

    Currentley Running a Venice 3200 at stock in an Asrock Dual Sata II M/B.
    I have 2GB of 2700DDR. And watercooled with an asutek single rad system.
    I also have a X1800XT256 Card.I am Getting Frame rate slowdown in WoW when running Skype at the same time, but NOT when I single play.

    I am thinking of keeping this system for another 6/12 months before upgrading to poss quad core or whatever and DX10. Will I see a big improvement by slotting a AMD 64 3800 Dual Core in, at £103 they seem good value - or is it worth going to the 4200 @ £135 ??????

    I am guessing that this is the bottleneck and not the Broadband, I am on 2MB BT.

    Your input would be appreciated as always.

    I'd get the 4200 as the asrock isn't the best clocker, and the 3800 X2 is a bit low on the clock speed. Also pick up some 3200 RAM (tons of really good stuff going second hand right now).

    Also skype has an option to limit the bandwidth used to to talk, try dropping it down see if it helps your slowdown.
