Yeah, I was hoping I could get a new, fairly cheap mobo, but it seems like the only ones I can find are either really old and cheap (which may not be so bad as a holdover) or really expensive...

Also, I suppose I should probably wait at least until AMD moves over to the 90-nm die process to get a new proc (I'm not really a big fan of Intel -- too expensive for too little performance, I think -- and so I probably wouldn't go for the Core 2 Duo).

Additionally, I have a fairly solid, if aging, rig, i.e. 2GB of DDR RAM, Creative Audigy 4 sound card, nVidia 6800 Ultra video card, which I'm also hoping to upgrade some time soon, and, as I said before, an Athlon X2 3700+ proc. I mostly started to think about upgrading the mobo and proc in one fell swoop because, well, right now the mobo's out of the case and everything is detached from it, and it's be less of a hassle to replace it and the proc now than once there's another board in there, but whatever, I guess I'll suck it up.

Thanks for the advice! :thumbsup:
