Looking at some new bits...
Need a new case, mobo, processor, ram.
Did that for myself yesterday, just wondered about peoples opinions on it, whether it's worth an extra £10ish here and there.
Don't need it for anything speciel just general use really, current machine is dying at the moment.
Does however need 2 PCI slots... if i got the selection above, i'd also need a new Gfx card i think because mine's AGP.
Obviously don't wanna spend more than 300 but could stretch to 400 if needed (and if football gambling continues to go well)

Whatever OS really, either Media Centre or Vista i guess?
Was looking at a cheap PCI-E card http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140614
Just looked at the other mobo, only advantage is the builtin wifi by the look of it, which costs me 2 USB ports, the rest of the spec looks similar, but the cheaper mobo i picked has higher bus speeds, which means i could upgrade to bigger and better, so probably stay with that.
Going for that much ram just because it was on offer really 
See why you're asking now tho as its suggesting a 64 bit OS because a 32bit OS doesnt see the full amount

XP64, so so much better than Vista (currently)
