Sounds like a good plan.... Not sure though... What I really want to be able to do, is play all my games on 32 at top preformance, and be able to switch to 64 bit system later... I also wan't to use a newer socket so it's more futureproof. If i build a system to support todays games, and it's using like a socket 775, It'l be less upgradable because 775 has lived its life, and is now in a old-system-home being suported only by its medicin and when the medicin is done, so is the socket... Heh... Well... Is the core duo Socket AM2? I'll look at it.
