this is going to sound stupid, but i just realized that i cant go to win7 because i wont give up my trackman marble (3 buttons, no wheel) .....i hate regular mice and i can rock the marble in games. so this means no ssd for me. unless a miracle happens and vista gets trim support. so my question(s) is........where can i find improvement in my current rig?
phenom 555be, all 4 cores unlocked, no oc
asus mb M4A785-M
hd 5770
8 gigs ocz ddr2 800
antec true power 650
momentus xt 500gig (boot disk)
my first thought is micro center (where i buy my parts) has the 965be on sale for 90 bucks....but is it worth upgrading to that.
if i get a new motherboard i will have to get new ram, so i would like to avoid that option for as long as possible.
video is an obvious option, but if i go 78xx or higher, how much will the 555 hold me back.
any other thoughts are welcome
