I'll keep it intact, well, might move a HDD over as a storage drive, and keep it in my network, but, as much as I really don't want to spend the money on a ground up build, this may be my last chance to do it without going deeper into debt (I'll be getting a bonus at work in a few weeks). This is still an AGP system and all you guys have moved on to PCIe. I'm afraid Vista is inevitable and I will need something to handle the DX 10 games in the future, not to mention Hi-Def video. It hurts because right now I have two puters running nicely and this will make three. I'm thinking of turning the P4 2.4 gig into a HTPC machine, the problem there is I won't be able to afford a big new shiny TV any time soon.

I havent upgraded to pcie nor has MT but we all know MT has $$$ to burn haha. BTW you can still play high def stuff onto your non hd tv. I used to do it all the time before I upgraded to an HDTV.
