New Computer Parts or Stang Parts?
I am stumped, limited to my Public Servant wages, and really wanting both!
My stang is a completely stock, one year old this week, it serves me well, but I want more oomph.
My computer is 2 years old, limited to sucky AGP graphics and I can't play the new games @ the highest graphic settings.
XCAL2 AFE CAI and a MRT Axle Back Muffler
OR
AMD Opteron 170 Dual Core Processor(This bad boy will overclock more than 50%), DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra motherboard, eVGA 7900gt video card.
OR
Sell my Yamaha FJ1200 crotch rocket and get both of the above. (This is a 1990 that I completely restored and hopped up.)
OR
Sell my Yamaha FJ1200 crotch rocket and my Harley-Davidson Electra Glide put a second mortgage on the house and get a Shelby CS6. (Just kiddin!! I love my Harley-Davidson!!)
Sucks to be me, does it not?

RE: New Computer Parts or Stang Parts?
I'm in IT, so I appreciate wanting a new MB/CPU/PCIx cobo. But my car comes first. LOL. You can save up for the AMD system later, the new dual core AMD 64bit cpus rock, I have two SQL servers running those in a quad configuration at work, they eat our most intense applications for breakfast. Though I'm not sure how much benefit it will give you in gaming, I don't thing the market has matured for games to take advantage of dual core/dual cpu's yet. I could be wrong. Besides, now is the time to enjoy your car. You can build the computer system up in the fall/winter when you will be in the house more often. LOL.

As far as my computer, I am frustrated with it, I hope I can wait until fall to upgrade it!!

RE: New Computer Parts or Stang Parts?
I am suprised I have not done anything to the stang after having it year, I guess the 2006 Harley I bought last fall has been getting way more attention, I was quick to start piling the money into mods for that; pipes, new intake, new fuel management system and chrome eats some money up quick.
