thats interesting. i was thinking of a mobo upgrade cpu and ram. probably
the am2 socket. so dual core 64bit. Asus board of course. Bundle sales
usually cost less than buying each part seperately.

I notice the new boards are pci e. So my current agp card wont fit. prefer
ati to nvdea having owned both. how do these built in graphics compare
these days? I currently have agp ati 9600. whats out there that is at
least as good? Not that i game much anymore. Two reasons for upgrade,

1. Learning linux. eventually will run windows in vmware inside linux and
only then when i cant get drivers or applications equivalent to windows.
2. I edit video. Even standard quality and not hd format video editing
spends more time rendering than real time. 40mins of edited video can take
2 hours to render and burn.

No i was going to try 2gb of ram to see if that helped. I currently have
1gb in the form of 2x512mb.

The asus mobo also supports sata raid. i thought a striped array might
speed things up.
