I would like to stick with XP for a little longer because according to my sources they havn't worked all the kinks out yet and I have a few programs and older games that i want to be able to use on Vista that won't currently work. Plus I am very good at navigating XP and Vista is a whole new ball game. About the Mobo and overclocking....I have not done much before now because I havn't really ever experimented much with it. I was scared that my power supply wouldn't handle it for one, plus the Pentium D already runs hot so i didn't want to push it. But any help or suggestions would be appreciated. As you said I have a plain Intel board and the bios doesn't let me do much so if i got a more overclocking friendly board i might try it. I play many different games and most of them i don't have trouble with, but besides Crysis I can tell that many of the other newer games demand a lot more. Dead Space, Fallout 3, and Gears of War 2 are some of my latest favorites and i can't run them on really high settings. I think one factor is my screen. I have a 24" Samsung that I can run at 1920x1200. Most of these newer games I can't set that high because it bogs down, but that is another reason i want to upgrade because the detail and realism and that high of resolution is awesome. I have heard a lot of great things about the WD raptors and i am really considering on of those also. Seems like they keep making them bigger too. I think now they make a 500GB model. 300 used to the be the biggest. However with all the other storage i have i might not need such a big one....just to run games. Thanks for the input guys. Do you have a Mobo's to reccomend. I have heard that Asus has some great boards to overclock....but that the customer support is crappy. I was also thinking about a Gigabyte.
