I am getting a new motherboard... infact this whole thing stemmed from me killing my old one. I am so lost when it comes to graphics cards though. I know i am getting a PCI-E one, I am looking to spend around $250CND for it, but really, I don't know what I am looking for other than vertex and pixel shadding is a must.

CheeseNips are SOOOOO much better they aren't as sharp as far as taste goes

which is why I like cheezits. I dont like the edge though, too sharp on my gums.

I will not pussy out and resort to kiddie cheezits! That would be admitting defeat to regular cheezits!

CPU: Intel Core Duo 6400, 2.16GHz, 2MB cache, 1066FBS
Motherboard: Asus P5B
RAM: 2GB of dual channel RAM (two gig sticks), running at 667MHz
Video Card(bit ashamed of this one): XFX GeForce 7100GS. 256MB memory, PCI-E slot (i am upgradeding hopefully to an 8800 in the summer)

Hard Drives: one 250GB 7200RPM (with a SATA connector), another 160GB, older one still on an IDE controller.

Pretty happy with it so far.
