thought I would update this old post of mine,,,
I sold all the old crap..mine and his and bought 2 Phenom II X2-550 and 2 GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H (the biostar I had wouldn't unlock) one is mine and one is his. I don't do games so I'm using a spare Geforce 8600 GTS and got him a GTX 260. Both computers has all 4 cores unlocked and overclocked to about 3.7 and the difference from both old systems to these are like day and night....got to love newegg combo deals...
