Ok...I just want to make sure I understand you guys. You're basically
saying that I can go buy a new mobo that has PCI-X for graphics that I can
drop my P4 3.0 GHz CPU into and then later upgrade that puppy to dual/quad
core? I'd have to upgrade both memory, graphics card, and PS right? Only
memory at first, though, right?
I'm asking because i'm starting to get a little tired of sucking so much
hind tit, these days. However, I need my upgrades to be very, very
meaningful, or such I say impactful.
