Opty 165, get it to 2.4 on air. You'll be more than capable of doing ANYTHING.

I really wouldn't see much point in upgrading the GPU to a 7900GT if the OP already has a 7800GTX as stated. Would seem like a little bit of a waste of money IMO.

The other question I would have to ask is if it is a Socket 754 CPU or a Socket 939 CPU? The A64 3200 came in both these versions I believe (correct me if I'm wrong)....

If it's 754 then you would be better off getting a new mobo at the same time and going 939 or waiting for AM2. If it is a 939 then probably go with either the x2 3800+ or the 4000+ (on a price point) depending on whether you multitask or not, I don't multitask so I opted for the extra speed of the 4000+ (The price point being very competative on these 2 processors - but again, it would depend on how much you want to spend).

If I was going to upgrade my CPU tomorrow, I would probably go for a 4800+.

Qft.

Yeah, if it's already on an ultra-d, and you're comfortable with overclocking, I'd say grab the 165 and an aftermarket HSF.
