Yeah, I was doubtful on the CPU being the issue, but ya never know...like I said, I haven't kept myself up-to-date on things like I used to. As for the motherboard, I was thinking the same, but I forgot it was only 1.1, I was thinking because of the older chipset it may be bogging it down, so I guess I was correct in my assumptions in a roundabout way

I like that board, PLENTY of USB slots, which means I probably won't need this external powered hub anymore Only one question about it, wtf does dual-bios mean? Is it like a failover BIOS or 2 seperate BIOS that you can set differently independent of eachother? Just curious, never had a board with that feature.

As for the i5's, I remember hearing about those. Is that really expected to be out by the end of this month? Might be worth the wait, but I don't know. I may just go with the cheaper solution and call it a day, heh. Thanks for the responses; I just got back from work so sorry about the delayed response on my part.
