1. Well, i'd have to buy an AM2 Mobo and some new RAM, perhaps even go water cooling to really blast out the MHz for SETI@Home, Einstein@Home, and LHC@Home. I'd give my current Opteron 165 system away as an X-mas present.
2. Phenom
1.) I would use its computing power to help cure the world of disease hunger and solve the energy crisis... right after I can finally play Crysis! - My poor old system needs to be put down like the old rabid dog it is
1: be able to bounce back into a computer after my wife cleans me out of house , cars , cash , and worst of all using kids against me .
2: still be able to talk / post to you"ll here.
3: Happy ThanksGiving to all.
1.) Buy a new motherboard ( I'm still on socket 939 ), new ram (again, socket 939), new video card (socket 939 with AGP). And then hack OS X Leopard onto it. (works so far on the socket 939).
1. Build a new computer for my friend who has no money to fix her current computer. She's moving out of state to live with her mom because she can't afford to live on her own. She's a [H]ardcore gamer at heart and kick's my ass at CS:S, so I'm building her a new computer as a going away present. I believe an Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition would finish it nicely
