Indeed, I dont know what motherboard you have, but I would defiantly look at OCing what you have and wait for Nahelem if your gonna upgrade to Intel. The new arch is gonna require all new everything, so Skt 775 is nearing the end of upgradeability. The flip side of that is that the Core 2 is pretty powerfull and should last 3-5 years for many users. I guess it all depends on how important the $$ are to ya.
