I am having a lot of trouble deciding what to do. This is my current PC spec.
2.6C P4 800 FSB Northwood
Intel 865GBF mobo
Kingston 512 MB DDR 333 (PC2700)
2 x 80 Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200 HD
ASUS GeForce 6800 128 MB (unlocked to 16x6)
I basically want a new 3d card and to overclock my proc to about 3.0 on stock HSF. I dont want to throw away my old processor as i want to wait for the new DX 10 cards and Conroe/AM 2.
I hope that you mean PCIe, rather than PCI. IMO, you'd get better performace by upgrading to 1GB of DDR400 RAM than getting a new VGA, seeing that you've already unlocked your current one.
Overclocking to 3GHz isn't a huge OC; does your current board not allow you to OC?
