you can always use a distro of linux or look for discounted versions of XP/Vista from you educational institution or work place. (If you have either of those)
ok so why aren't you taking there offer??? I highly doubt your mobo is the problem in the OC.....might be your CPU.......IDK.
If I was ava I'd tell you to take it or leave it.
hah, he did invent them so I think he has the right.....kind of like the OJ wanting his stuff back.....consider yourself lucky that Al didn't get violent.
My advice........
Q6600 (G0 stepping paired up with any of the normal HSF's that OC'ers love)
8800GT (NOT an OC version)
G-skill DDR2 800 (even with big oc's on the CPU you won't need any higher clocked RAM)
Corsair 520w...
ranking in those games are so stupid......like going from an E-8 or E-9 to an O-1 is a promotion, hahahahahahha. Well technically it is but come on........
yeah that would be a good idea......you seem pretty confident so give it a shot, though I don't think you'll be able to pull it off. (that is buy the M6300 and sell the i9400 for the same price)
