Holy smokes....there goes my competition. I'm going to have get a whole new motherboard all together plus an additional video card too, but not right now. My next major upgrade will have to take advantage of the dual core process. I know that AMD is making it so we don't have to change the motherboard for dual core support, but I think it will eventually come to the point where a new one is necessary. Are you planning on getting the Windows XP Professional X64 version? I can imagine that should boost benchmarks up more.
