Hey there,

Thanks again for the reply.

I know that my old processor won't HT on the new board,
but in future I might buy a new HT processor.

Yeah, some new parts are definatley in order:
Motherboard
Power supply (the Dell box is rated at 180W)
Video card
Case (the Dell box looks like crap too =P)

Thanks a million guys!

Nick
