no dude, my 3.2 northwood processor is better than ur 3.2 prescot processor. (without overclocking)
my rams are at full 400mhz in dual channel, and my gigabyte mobo is/was a beast for tweaking and overclocking (i got two bios btw hehe).
already my specs with my gf7600gs are faster than urs, add an ati 3850 and voila !! sparkles for a single core system.
the agp bus is fast enough for the ati 3800 series, u need a pci-e bus only for a gf8800 and upwards.
the only issue i might have is the cpu bottlenecking in some games, but until now, that was never an issue, i just turn down 'physics' in games and i have no bottlenecks. i'm talking from my experience, i just need to get that ati 3850 video card for now and i'm cool :)
ofcourse i could always use a newer system, but like u, i am clinging on to my current system, which for me still has some sexiness in it.
