It depends on how long AMD will keep the socket set. Yes, you can upgrade to a faster socket now and there is some time...but they change (Intel is well known to do this) but last I heard AMD was keeping the socket layout the same.

yes, that ram will work

I disagree. 32-bit will still "see" 3.25GB of ram. That is worth upgrading over 2GB especially running VISTA (which I would remove and put XP if it was me)

I had 4 gigs in my comp for a bit running vista 32 bit, read 3.5 gigs, when i downloaded service pack 1 it read all 4.

x6600 oced at 3.5ghz, 4gb ram, gtx280, and plenty of fans for cooling purposes.

By no means is that pc prepared to handle gamings of Crysis/COD

Hmm , I am able to play CoD5+crysis on my laptop with a geforce 8400m and 2 gig ram, thats why I figured I could mayby play them on high graphics with that desktop.

Like I said, with my e8200, 9800 GTX and 2GB of DDR2 800, I can rock Crysis at full settings and it laughs at it.

I can't say anything about AMD after '04. That's when I stopped buying their ish quality products.

You will. But as I said, the AMD line hasn't been too good as of late.

What? Check out the 8750 X3 Tolman. AMD is still solid.

I think I may buy this, what else would I need? A graphics card, and operating system? Could I use my restart disc for my laptop to put on Vista //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif , or should I just get a cracked version of WinXP off a torrent site? Does that bundle come put together or would I have to put it together? I'm not familiar with putting together hardware, just plug and play stuff and drivers like a video card and ram. Would I have to flash the bios and stuff like that? Thanks for the help.

you would have to assemble that barebone kit
