Tony thanks for your input,
dont worry about rambling OT i dont mind going OT
dualcore is being phased out so nows the time to pick them up cheap also its a lot faster than what i currently have.
the chip is a stop gap upgrade anywho ill upgrade later this year to a quad core,thanks for your advice on that.
i kinda figured it would be an 8800,well that can wait till the end of the month
