ok my mobo is being a chelsea fan again and i'm getting to the point where its
A- replace the mobo ( not sure its worth it tbh with the cpu and ram i have )
B- rebuild myself ( nervious )
C- New Pc ( ouch )

A- Just grab a new Asus mobo, but fuck off the sli as im not doing that now i don't think.. well probably

B- Replace the mobo as needed, but jump up to duel core and ddr2

C- A dx10 / vista machine...
Although i was hoping to put this off as i don't see a need for it yet on anything that is out.
Any feelings, im a little worried about rebuilding myself...
I've had the Pc looked at and its said to be fine, just looks like i was unlucky.
Atill first build gets a slap in the face, putting me off not just having it built.
As it leaves me with no person to call a chelsea fan and tell em to fix it..
But takes the fun out and up's the price..

Thats good advice, just think if you want to build a midrange machine which you wanna upgrade at the end of the year or dish it all out and build a proper DX10 machine that'll last for the next few years.

I had forgot about that, if i don't have it built i might make him regret that comment.
anyway..
I came to the conclusion late last night and a few people agree.
new cheapish mobo, save for a Dx10..
And if its not the mobo that's fucked, take it to my local arts collage, and drop it in the acid bath and add a good measure of evil laughter...
