Hey man, technology ages ludicrously fast. Buy the latest stuff you can offord now, and you will be more satisfied longer. Go AMD NOW, socket 939 on the mobo. Here is My mobo for you to compare.
Some Serious Upgrading
Well guys, heres what I'm planning.
I'm not going to switch over to PCI-e and AMD until possibly next year or later.
SO, I think I'll ride out on the last wave of AGP tech until the end.
So, my first upgrade would obviously be a new vid card.
I figured that the 6800GS would hold me off for now.

Next would be a new processor I suppose.
I want the best I can get for a Socket 478 board.
I was thinking either a 3.0 Pressy, or one of these things. Anyone know anything about em?

And after these major upgrades, I'm thinking of getting a Zalman HS for my new proc, perhaps a Fatal1ty for some vga cooling, and possibly a new case to hold all this stuff in.
Whatchu guys think?
EDIT: Nevermind that other proc, I just checked and it seems to be a Mobile Proc.

the technology curve is leveling off slowly
unless a breakthru in quantum or cell computing is reached, things wont get a whole lot faster, only bigger HDD space, ram etc
until water becomes the staple of cooling, then peltiers or whatever
then there will be stock OC's and whatnot
