Sorry about not replying to any posts yesterday - had to leave computer - I am back now though!
- Thanks for all your input and discussions btw. Just to answer a few questions...
I do know how to overclock (multipliers, fsb + RAM, keeping the temperature down, tweak voltage, test try again, run programs to test stability etc etc) - allthough I havent done so before, id be fairly confident in a small overclock - I probly wouldnt try to squeeze the max out of it, especially with new components..
Thats why i was potentially looking at the Phenom II x 4 - as you can squeeze a little more out of that - but its still good at stock, and maybe throw a couple of more $ into a nice OC'ing Mobo.. allthough I may consider that in upgrade in a few year(s).
Maybe COD online is the max i might play - its not guaranteed though.. Games wise, desktop based games (E.G. Age of empires sort of thing) Flash games online, and other online browser games whilst also running small database programs (probly wont put oracle on the new rig as that was a resource hog on the old rig) and other apps..
