New Chip and Mobo...ftw....do it....that would show you the most improvement IMO... :9

I'd agree. However, if everthing is running well, I'd put the money away and spend it later when you're going to see a bigger difference.

Nothing is really that out of date or anything and if everything is running fine, I'd save my money for now too unless you just want to upgrade something. Hell man, your 3D Mark Score is higher than mine and I just upgraded.

And don't feel bad about IDE harddrive, my dvd and super old school cd burner that burns at a max speed of 4X are both IDE....but they serve their purpose and I have no problems so I see no need to upgrade them currently.

What you have right now is fine. It looks all pretty up-to-date to me. Id say , save for a newer and nicer build when the time comes.

Are there certain games you want to play?

You also have a higher score than me but you have a high clock.

Q6600 and new mobo would make a big difference if you OC it, it fact it would probably better standard.

Wait on the graphics card till more 10.1 GPU's are out.
