Well bit the bullet yesterday and upgraded. Not a bad deal either.

Asus M4A785D-M Prod
AMD Phenom 2

Worked out at about £150. Couple that with the existing 4gb of ram and the 9800gtx should be sweet.

Hopefully that will improve my performance and allow me to dish out a seriuos spanking to Kadey that he thouroughly deserves.

take more than that to give kadey a whooping

prob still need to invest in one of 6's magic stabbing knives that gets you from round corners

ahh got the drives sorted then?

yeah all hunky dory
