My mobo. So that gives me a good excuse to upgrade. :D
Replacement is going to be a Asus A8R Crossfire mobo with a 4400+ X2. :P

Actually, the mobo and processor are allready delivered at the online shop i ordered from.
But i also need a cable to make the cpu power cable a little longer, and that stupid cable is the reason i have to wait till 3-3-2006 before i get the stuff. :evil:

Ok that´s just bad luck. And the time doesn´t fly by when you are waiting for something like that.

Can I ask why you chose the x2 4400+?

I'm building a new rig now, I was going to go dual core with an Opteron 170 (and try to clock it as FX 60 hehe)... but the site I was shopping on sold out while I was shopping... the x2 4400 seemed like the next logical replacement, but then I concerned how much will dual core improve my performance versus the 4000+ sandy... since the only time the dual core would be faster for me would be while I was modelling (3ds, Photoshop at once) and when I was gaming I didn't anticipate running anything intensive background, the Sandy seemed like a much better choice benchmark wise and it's letting me spend another US$150 elsewhere in the system.

Of course there's always a possibilty new games are going to finally utilize multi-core systems (especially in the 360/PS3 console era) ... I just want a second (or third, fourth, fifth) opinion on this. ;)
