I already have the motherboard in my machine and have no plans to
upgrade a motherboard; I'd rather wait a year or two, especially as
we're on the cusp of several new PC technologies (Serial ATA disks,
PCI express motherboards & graphics cards, high-speed LCD displays,
Windows Longhorn, etc), and then just get a new machine.
So I aim to get the best from my current machine in the meantime, and
an upgrade to almost 3GHz would be great. My current CPU (1800+) is
good enough for most purposes, but recent games require even higher
CPUs (Vietcong, for example, has an abysmal framerate even with my
Radeon 9800 Pro).
Anyway, if anyone has info about upgrading to 2800+ that would be
great; otherwise, I'll just settle for 2600+.
Cheers,
P.
