Here's my config.. an yr old

Intel core 2 duo E8400+ 3ghz
Asus P5N E sli (Don't know why I went for this sick little weasel when I've no idea of having two GFX Blame the salesman for that.. can't intall iATKOS now(macos))
2GIG 677 ram
zotac 8400gs 768MB
intex 4.1
view sonic 22' va2226w
Belkin router wifi
creative webcam
320 + 160 gb PATA + SATA seagate HDDs
ASUS DVDRAM; SONY CDRW (5yr old and still working like hell)
etc etc

Now can you guys please help me in upgrading this to a better and more faster one?
MOBO is a must .. the current one sucks...
may be the CPU also is outdated now? I'm half sure though.

Dude, you should be content with what you have--its a pretty good rig you have there .....you could try overclocking your cpu.....just search for it in google....just go for a graphics card upgrade....but wait till september the 10th....prices are surely gonna fall with the introduction of ATi HD5xxx cards!!
