well, i'm convinced. i just ordered a 2600 mobile and an slk947u (doing some custom ramsinks for my 9700, gotta get rid of my zalman fan braket
).
seems to be a fairly inexpensive upgrade to the ol' gaming rig that just might make it stay around longer than i thought it would
if i can get the chip to hit 2.6-2.8, and get a decent oc out of my vid card (same mb), should have a decent jump in 3dm03 scores.
although i'm sure my pc2700 is quite a bottleneck, not really ready to dump another $350 on this rig for the good stuff yet (still running hyperx ram).
