Glad you figured it out. Let us know what you're considering buying - Migs' next article is supposed to cover what to do when you really need a new rig. It'll give him an excuse to start working on it ;)

I'm looking at refurbs again - quad core, at least a pent i5, although an i7 would be nice. As usual, as much RAM and cache as possible. I'll stick with an nVidia, hopefully one thats better than the GT430 that I have now.

I sure would be glad to dump Vista for W7 though.

Much depends on the money situation, since Mrs Bob, (who, I might add, already has a rig not unlike the one described above) hath decreed that we do some work on our ancient hovel this year, so spare cash for something as trivial as a new rig for me may well be denied!

The solution is simple. Switch rig with the wife... :D

Its almost impossible to winkle her out of WoW land........

No Wow would fund restoration of ancient hovel!
Hmm maybe not. I am a firm beliver that mmo keeps people too occupied to spend money on other crap.

When I got my new PC about 6 months ago and switched from Vista to W7 it felt like sweet, sweet liberation.

I'll second that. I got a new PC with W7 in Dec. and am really enjoying it.
