    That processor is a bit :S

    I'd say get at least dual 2.4's or so and even a quad.

    I would, except that the quad core is EXTREMELY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE... i would probably get an AMD before an Intel quad core...
    hehehe, also the e2160 OC nicely to a good 3.4GHz =0

    But yes i may change the processor.

    no one ever seems to see that cost is a factor, quads cost $280+. And DDR3 isent worth for what it costs and i dont think the motherboards is compatible anyway.

    What OS?

    intel extreme core is not for someone like me. Not one person on this forum needs it... unless they are film makers, video decoders/editors and PS3 users and programmers using vista while playing Counter Strike at the same time...

    Also Intel Extreme core is 25 times better than 5200+ =P

    Also my OS is Linux.

    Get a better GPU. A 7600? Seriously? Even most budget PCs can atleast afford a 7900GT.
    If you want to run current games on the PC smoothly, spring for an 8 series. I recommend the 8800GT.
