just upgrade the ram to 1 gig and you will be fine and maybe stick in a new optical drive (ide of course)
The main reason i said amd was cost. I have a 3.2Ghz dual core 64 bit processor and it cost me £100!!!

Sounds good. If you need help, check out the guide (note that a few things have changed since then, for example a 9600GT instead of 8800GT), or post a new thread. Good luck!

no need for a quad core and ocing, doesnt give any performance boost in games, only good for 3dmax etc. ocing just voids ur warranty also
