What applications do you frequently use?

i use photo editing software the most followed closely by regular office apps but I would really like to increase my performance in games where this machine isnt as fast as it used to be

Reply to sluhkid720

in that case.... Geforce 7800GS, and if your ram and power supply will allow for it... try oc'ing that cpu to 3.4

Reply to The_Prophecy

Agreed... Too bad it has to be an AGP card though...

Reply to The_Rev

Yup... Just sayin... The 7800GS, though nothing to sneeze at, fails to excite me.
