Alright, Well its time to get out of the Single Core cpu world. I don't want to spend much, maybe 300 bucks. Just want to upgrade my CPU, Ram and Mobo. I prefer Dual core, and Possible 4gb of ram. This is just to get me by until I can afford to build a whole new system. I'm not going to do this right off, But I am thinking about to just upgrade that stuff just to get me by for a while and then when I get a good job I can build a whole new system. And these parts will be used for a File Server. What do you think? Should I just wait till I get a good job and then build a new system? Now, my other question. I do have a AMD Dual Core 2.2ghz CPU, is that faster than a P4 3.2ghz? if so, maybe I could just get a new mobo and use that cpu and my current ram? Which is PC3200. And the Mobo must have PCIE. What do you think I should do?
