    I'm looking for a cheap mobo for 4400+

    Oh, and if it could have pins to connect front pannel Audio and USB that would be great. My case is an Antec NSK 6500, so it can be a micro atx or full size, I have no real prefferance on which it is.

    Vista to Vista x64

    I though vista 64 did a clean install. My real question is, I am assuming since I am buying an upgrade version of vista I will have to insert my old OS disk durring the install to satisfy the upgrade check and if a 32 bit version of xp will satisfy it.

    Upgrade from 3000+ to x2 3800

    Well it depends, are you running vent/ts and maybe IE/firefox while gaming? If so, the duel core will take that load and put it on the other core freeing up space on the one the game is running on.
